If someone has "show hidden folders" turned on, and packages their skin manually, the file will have the desktop .ini and thumbs db file zipped up inside the skin file. Your AV prog is probably picking that up. Eh, any why should AV programs e bothered about those files? Or is it hidden files in general?

've never scripted a thing. I don't even know if I have VBscript. Do I have to download it? These TUTs are so cool and I'd love to learn how. But gots to have the tools first. These tutorials are for VBScript within DesktopX. However, if you want to learn just VBScript then head over to http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/default.asp.

How do you prevent apps from stealing the focus of the forground window on Vista? I searched for it and all the articles all refer to the same registry key that has to be changed. Which I have, but it doesn't work. Windows still steals focus which is very annoying when I'm typing something. Anyone managed to get this working?

There is a widget application for Linux. I know I played around with a beta about a year ago in Ubuntu. Don't remember the name right now. I'll see if I can find it again.

Just one gotcha about cloning. Currently, in DesktopX, if you clone and object and it's related object, it will include any object which has the same "Widget" property. So if you import a widget and want to clone one object and it's children then you got to make sure to clear the Widget property first, otherwise you end up cloning the whole widget. I notified Stardock about this and hopefully this behaviour will change in coming releases.
