Windowblinds wont start up

Reply #1 March 5, 2004 1:24 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

no, there is an option you can choose that says start WB when windows starts. thats all i know, ask stumpy or someone who knows to help.

You must have windowblinds installed for every account that wants to use it, if it is only on the admins account then other accounts cannot use it

Just login to an account and install it again

Thanks , but I only have one user name for XP. I guess I should of been more clear. What I mean is when I shutdown then log in again after turning my comp back on, WB doesnt start up, I have to load it every time. Any help with this? thanks

If you are the only user, it should not ask for you to login, the login screen should become a Welcome screen, the easy way to change that is remove all trace of a password

That is if you want to, other than that, I'm not sure what you need to do

open WB.. right click it to bring up its properties, go to 'general options', 'startup options' tab, and choose 'load on windows start up'.

that should be it.

hehe stumpy i think you overshot his problem by 40 yards. all he needs to do, from what i gather, is have it load on windows start. and if you only have one user on your machine, you may still want to have a log in screen.. if for 'guest' uses or password protection. his program simply isn't starting automatically.

I hope that's the problem solved

thanks for the reply designcaddy but i dont get general options or anything when i right click. sorry, im stupid with computers, maybe thats why, probably not doing something right . but you do have my problem write in your 2nd post, except for the "his" part

right click the windowblinds icon in your system tray, or the windowblinds icon under display properties.

Reply #11 March 5, 2004 5:11 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

oops...and then do what Design Caddy said.

There is no longer an option for "Load at startup", wbload is now registered automatically and should run at start up of computer, and I cannot find what you told "Somename" :/

Reinstall Windowblinds, it should kick in when you boot up

Reply #15 March 5, 2004 5:22 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Ok, i'll give it a try

Reply #16 March 5, 2004 5:34 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

If that fails then put a shortcut in the "Startup" folder, at the following place

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Replace "Your Name Here" with your name

reinstalled and still no luck. could it be because I changed the install path?

Reply #18 March 5, 2004 5:35 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Yes that could be the problem.

Then do as I said above

Uninstall it - reboot - reinstall to default place

Reply #22 March 5, 2004 5:53 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Reply #23 March 5, 2004 5:57 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

C:\Program Files\Object Desktop\Windowblinds
