Reply to Forcing windows to stay above ObjectDock in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Here's what I've found that works (I have the freeware version of ObjectDock). Move the Windows taskbar to the top and set it two rows tall. Set it to always be on top of other windows. This is the standard setting, I believe. Then set ObjectDock to hide the taskbar. At this point, maximizing windows won't hide ObjectDock.

Reply to Excel File as Shortcut Won't Open in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Thanks for the replies! I don't have "bring it to the foreground" checked, so that's not it. Right-click --> Open, however, does work. I'm still not sure why it won't work from the regular click.

It's mainly an image viewer, not a paint or photo program.

If I click on it while Excel is open (either with or without a file open), it blinks and glows, but the file doesn't open. Anyone know what the problem is? Do I need an argument for Excel to open it? Thanks,
