[quote who="pelaird" reply="2" id="3925397"] Make sure the "Advanced Tweak" shown below is checked. The procedure for adding a shortcut to the Dock you described in your post works for me. [/quote] My Advanced Tweak looks just like yours. the default, I guess. Try adding a Store app, or try File Explorer. Without the tip in the first reply, to open the app with Show Applications checked, then right clicking and adding to the dock, mine would go away if dragging a desktop sho

The tip to open the app and pin the running program works. Thanks for that. Like me mom always used to say, it's always intuitive if you know how to do it!

Got the email about Objectdock 3. Immediately ordered, upgrade from owning it YEARS ago!! I've been using Winstep Nexus for a while now, but I like Stardock as a company and I like their licensing policy and online control of licenses and installs, so wanted to support them. One issue I have. How to add a program shortcut to a dock. I am on Windows 11 with Start 11 v2. I go to Start, search the program, right click, create shortcut. Says it can't create it here so do I want it o

My mistake, I checked and I do have a separate ObjectDock license. So if they do fix it, I'm good!! Now, for this alternative?? Somewhat ironically I got an email from Stardock about Object Dock just yesterday, rekindling my interest. Thought maybe it was a new version update, but alas, no. At least they know it exists. So really, what are all the alternatives to Object Dock?

Today I get up and Start10 is not working. Win10 Pro, Object Desktop subscriber paid up. I have Windows 10 Pro 1511 10586-36, up to date. Webroot Antivirus and Malwarebytes Pro. Run scans with both, clean. I have 4 other computers with Win 10 and basically the same setup Win version wise, AV wise, and Start10 wise, and all those are fine. So, uninstall, reboot, install thru Object Desktop manager, reboot. Start10 setup will run but I never get the Start 10 icon or menu, nothing.

I uninstalled/reinstalled from an old download. I had to cancel the automatic download of a new version on first startup, then go to Settings and tell it to notify my. I now have v2.38.434 build 139. It's better, but I still need to scroll one screenful before anything shows up in Skins and Themes/Windowblinds. Once I scroll one screenful down, then they're all there. With the new version I had to scroll a bit and wait about 3 minutes for all the stuff to "shuffle" into the window!! Strange inde

SDC installed a new version of itself, right. I don't remember having a choice, I started it and it just downloaded and installed. I tried the restore link, which is a link to a file called loader.exe, with a /restore. It didn't seem to do anything other than load SDC. I have SDC versin 2.40.437 Build 141 after the restore attempt, is that the latest? I pull down Help/History and it doesn't show any 2.40 xx builds there at all, up to 2.39 beta. SDC worked OK before, a

Stardock Central downloaded a new version on Vista today, and now when I go to look at skins, nothing is in the window. If I hover over something in the window, it's there. If I right click somewhere and click Large Preview I see that. If I left click somewhere, I get 2 or 6 or 10 icons for skins, click somewhere else, I get some more. Sometimes when I click it starts like shuffling icons into the window and then they all show up. If I click in some sub heading under Windowblinds, nothing. Go ba

I have this same problem, WB 5.1, MS Money 2006. When MS Money starts, it opens in the last window size like it should and immediately cranks down the screen to full desktop height. The width does not change. It doesn't do it all the time, either, just sometimes. Not sure if it's particular skins causing it or what. Has anyone seen a solution to this? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/sd/SDC24.

Mostly a bump, is there any chance this will get fixed? I want to run something other than 96dpi also, and Theme Manager doesn't work with, say, 120 dpi? I mean, it works, but doesn't show the whole window.

I just bought Object Desktop. I had ObjectDock before, so was a member at Stardock but haven't used it or had anything installed for a while. I downloaded Stardock Central and installed. It won't even run. I get the error "The procedure entry point []mbsnbicmp could not be located in MSVCRT.dll" That's a square symbol, not the brackets I used to represent it. What do I do, I can't begin to download the Object Desktop stuff if I can't even run Stardock Central, right? Off to a bad start

OK, I got it fixed, but not sure how/why. Setting non-tabbed to always on top means on top of screen saver, too. For tabbed, now I can't get it to show on top of screensaver no matter how I set either type of dock!! Before, both were on top. Likely some little buglet. And.......if Stardock is here, my opinion is they should NEVER show on top of screen savers, but perhaps that's just me. Thanks <a href="../resources.asp

I just purchased ObjectDock Plus and notice the docks show on top of the Windows screensaver. I have one normal dock and one tabbed dock, both show over the screensaver. Is this normal, or is there something I can turn off/on to have this NOT happen? I've looked around but nothing obvious to me. I'm just using the WindowsXP screen saver, no fancy 3D screensaver with sound and flashing lights or anything.
