Here is a mini tutorial on where to place files in the ObjectDock folders: WWW Link Once you have the files in the correct location, you simply right-click a dock entry (icon) and select "Dock Entry Properties". Click the "Change Image" button and select the image you want to use. To place a new entry on the dock, you can do one of the following: 1 - Right-click the dock > mouse-over "Add" >

Nice one, Mike. Glad to see this one updated for WB5, I tried the old one I have in WB5 and had magic pink all over the place... I think I will wait for the issues to be sorted before ordering. I always did love this suite. BTW - is the WMP skin compatible with WMP 10?

Corky_O, I can't reproduce the same problem in Reply #21 using your directions It must be something on my home notebook then, as I can logon with no problem here from work in same version IE browser. Perhaps the infamous NIS 2006 is creating issues at home. Note - I can sort it by closing/re-opening the browser and opening WC site.

Andrew, If I go into Internet Options and clear cookies, files (online and offline), and history for IE6.0.2900.2180 and then attempt to log back on to WinCustomize - I receive the same page displayed in the image in comment #21 here: [link=https://forums.wincustomize.com/?forumid=188&aid=124902&p=1]WWW Link">Link Issue #2 would be that the "link" button function does not seem to work consistently in the same browser. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles

You indicate that you have ObjectDock, not Object Desktop. Is this correct? If so, and you have ObjectDock Plus (the purchased version), then the 1.3 version is the current version. I believe you would have received 1.2 on the June 2006 date, so this would mean (if Stardock is still using the same system) that you are entitled to updates through version 2.2 (if they get that far). If you are using the free version, then simply download and install the newer versions as they bec

Are you referring to the shareware, or purchased version? I ask because the purchased version needs to be activated, which requires the "Activate.exe" file to have access to the internet. A little more information such as: - Operation System - Firewall software name - Version of WindowBlinds ....would help someone direct you in a helpful way.

You might try rebooting the computer. Sometimes WindowBlinds will not apply changes until reboot (perhaps due to files in use). If that does not work, you might try changing the skin and applying the changes, then revert back to the dark skin. Note - I have not used the shareware version for more than two years, so if you are, there is a chance that the shareware version is limited and does not allow 'per application' exclusions - not sure on that one. <img src="http://images.s

You're giving me a headache, Jafo.... For my part, I use an external USB drive to hold Ghost images of the drives. On the notebook, I run one drive with one primary partition. On the former Desktop, I ran one master drive with one partition for the OS and programs, and one slave drive for holding all images, music, etc. - with all important images, music, etc on DVD backups. <br/

This is the version referred to as "WindowBlinds Classic" version 4.6 for Windows 2000 or earlier. This version will not install on a machine running Windows XP or newer. There is also a version 4.6 which is available to Object Desktop subscribers via Stardock Central which can be installed and run under Windows XP.

If you go here https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/download.asp - you can download the "WindowBlinds Classic" version by clicking the blue WindowBlinds Classic text at the top. Note - there is no real support for this version running under Windows '98, so if it works great, if not - you are pretty much out of luck.

The only possible option I can think of is to install Stardock Central and see if the "WindowBlinds 4 is available under the "Demo" section. Note - this may or may not have a time limit if available. As far as the version for Windows 2000 and previous goes, you can download that here https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/download.asp - just click the "WindowBlinds Classic" link in upper text. Note - this

Just to add to the confusion, I have also seen two instances of the image shown in comment #21. Once the other day, and once tonight after clearing all cookies and internet files and then logging on. After closing the browser and re-opening I was logged on looking at a the home page with all information but the images (which were all displaying the lovely small red "X" in a white box). A subsequent clicking of the "Forums" tab revealed left side topic labels (similar to what we

I don't think it's the batteries so much as it's the circuitry that's supposed to prevent them from overcharging, and in turn, overheating. Would this then indicate that Dell, HP, and Apple are producing bad ciruitry in their products?
