Object Dock bug or feature?
Friday, October 3, 2003 by nottie_ | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Can anyone else do this with object dock?
setup a new shortcut on object but do not put anything in the shortcut except a name for the shortcut so no link to a file or folder. save it all and then click the link and hold mouse button down for a cpl of seconds and my computer comes up with the abilty to browse your computer or if you just click it my computer folder opens.
and if this is a feature does anyone know how to get it to point to a specific folder ie. my documents.
as i can't see any mention of it in the readme file.

Not quite sure if I'm understanding correctly...I just drag and drop any folder like, My Docs, My Music, Drives, Network Drives etc. right onto the dock and it will point to and open those directly...The link is automatically created
Is that what you are saying? Hope that helps

I'm telling you! Just place some of the shell access in the link box and when you get it ready, hold down the mouse and there you go!

Type one of these in the link box and give it a name, click ok and there you go!

I use for my PC this one: shell:DriveFolder
and for My documents this one: shell:Personal
