I was in Barnes & Nobel the other day and was looking at a magazine called "PC Utilities". It is printed in England. There was a small article on Window Blinds on page 16. The article was titled "The Essential XP Toolkit".
can't figure out how to configure it hmm? I can figure them out just fine, thank you. IMO, while they do the job they're intended to do, they have a large footprint and AVG is a better written program. BTW, what does configuring have to do with the fact that they both leave traces of crap all over your system if you ever decide to uninst
Norton and McAfee are resource hogs and leave crap all over your system. AVG is much better. Come to think of it, anything with the name Norton or Symantic are resource hogs and would never be installed on any computer I own. [Message Edited]

Does SpeedCommander come in an English version?
Thanks ChasUGC and Hus. I used the help from both of you. I used IconExplorer to extract the icons and IconXP to do the conversion. I then went into Photoshop and did the final edit. I'm still trying to figure out this Sysmetrix theme stuff. I had to take the 16x16 icon and make one 64x16 icon in Photoshop. The 64x16 icon is just 4 of the 16x16 in a single row. I'm not sure why Sysmetrix works this way. Thanks again for the help.
I've seen several Sysmetrix skins that use the "Interactive Buttons" option, where a user can execute a program. I'm trying to build one myself and can't figure out how people are extracting the Icon associated with a particular program and get this "icon" into a .bmp file to use with the skin. For example, if I look at my file called "PowerDesk.exe" in file manager, the .exe file has an "icon" associated with it. However, there isn't a .ico file. Where is this "icon" coming from and ho
There are 2 types of icons for ObjectDock, true .ico files, and .png files. You can't use PNG for Windows icons. Can someone elaborate on this further? Can you use a .ico file with ObjectDock, and if so, what is the purpose of the .png file? If I'm creating a shortcut for ObjectDock, must I OR should I use a .png file for the icon?
I think the shortcut to restart is: C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -t 5 -r
Thanks yrag. That did the trick. Thanks kongit too for the suggestion. [Message Edited]
I'm not having any luck with the right clicking. Do you by any chance know of a way to change one of my existing objects to the "configuration dock" object? Thanks
I was changing the transparency of my Object Dock background and changed it so it is completely transparent. Now when I do a right click to add an item, I don't get Object Dock's right click menu. I get XP desktop's right click menu instead. Consequently, I have no way to add new items to my Object Dock. I removed the "Configuration Dock" docklet so I can't use that. Does anyone know how I can open up Object Dock's configuration menu? Thanks
Thanks yrag.
I'm new to Object Dock. Is there anyway to get rid of the animation docklet completely? It does nothing but aggravate me.

I have 512 meg of memory, running XP. I think paxx and sig101 are on to something. If I shut down Avant, I was able to load the page. This is a nice browser but it definately has some problems. I'm going to give it a try for a few days and then make a decision. Does anyone know of a web page that has Avant Browser discussions? The Avant Browser web page is gone. Thanks again for the help.

That's what I would of thought. However I'm trying to load http://www.ezprints.com in Avant and it takes forever. If I try and load it in IE, it comes right up. If you could try this web page and report back, it would be much appreciated. Thanks
I'm trying out the Avant Browser that was mentioned on the news page the other day. I'm finding that it is considerably slower than IE, in fact some pages won't even load on Avant Browser but they load immediately when I use IE. Has anyone else experienced this or know of any fixes. This seems like a nice browser, but at this point I'm going to go back to IE unless this I can solve this problem. Thanks.
Anyone know if this browser contains any Spyware?
Thanks folks. My screen shot has been uploaded and approved.
Do you just email the screen shot to an admin? Anyone know the address? Thanks
Can someone tell me how the "Daily Shot" works? Do you just submit a screen shot of your desktop and hope it gets displayed? Who/how do you submit or email your screen shot? I've looked on this site for answers to the above, but haven't found the info yet. Thanks.
Wommers: Thanks for that tip. I was able to change it.
Wommers, how do you change the Landing Zone theme to blue? Sorry for the "newbie" question.
The flipp'n link is broke. No Porsche skin for me....yet.
c242... I should read more carefully before responding. The blurb about the Carrera thems says it is for WindowBlinds. I'm going to download it and give it a look. Thanks again.
Thanks for the link. I don't use HoverDesk though. Bummer. Know of any WB/NextStart/Sysmetrix Porsche themes?
