Help with Object Dock (PLEASE!!)

Thursday, February 19, 2004 by dommy_uk1 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hello, excuse my ignorance but how do you create a shortcut in objectdock to 1) A web page and 2) a specific folder 3) my adsl connection in the network menu. Normal shortcuts are all .exe based so I can do these, I'm just stumped on these others!

One thing I have tried is using the argument and typing in the long string of characters and numbers found in the item I'm linking to's properties. This does not work however. (for example I have a desktop shortcut to connect to adsl, I right clicked on properties and saw a long string, typed this into the dock items properties in the argument and it didn't do nothing other than say it couldn't find the path. I typed in explorer.exe as the link.)

cheers for any help anyone can offer!

webpage: create an icon by right clicking right at the end or at a divider and choose create shortcut. right click on made shortcut, type in the address to the page in the command/link/location (I forgot what it is called) line, choose an icon and a name, and it should work

folder: same as above accept accept type in the location of the folder into the command/location area.

I don't know about your adsl connection.
