Program Entries: Object Desktop, Stardock, WinCustomize
Thursday, June 5, 2003 by Christopher Lee | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I am a new user of the Object Desktop software. I completed my purchase and dutifully downloaded the Stardock Central appliction, which, when launched, allowed me to download the individual components (DesktopX, WindowBlinds, ObjectBar, Winstyles, etc).
When I looked at the Program entries in my WinXP start menu, I saw an entry for Stardock which included one item: Stardock Central. I saw another bucket for Object Desktop, which apparently includes the individual apps.
Yesterday, I discovered yet another bucket called WinCustomize which seems to have all the same components as Object Desktop.
When running WinStyles a dialog box alerted me to the fact that I didn't have another (apparently separate) component needed for Logons, which I proceeded to download, and which created yet another Program entry in my start menu.
Um, isn't this a little nuts? Can anyone advise what's on with this software, and why it doesn't all reside in one nice tidy little bucket for Stardock? Must I manually move stuff around if I want to clean this up?
thanks in advance...

that's because wincustomize and stardock are 2 different entities. They are, basically, the same company, but wincustomize sells some things and stardock sells the other things, hence the two different buckets. It's been asked before, don't worry.

Take it to the supreme court? 
Still puzzled, tho... why not ask Stardock? They own this site, etc.
