I just shut down my computer. Then turned it on again. Everything went fine. Rebooted again, still fine. The BSOD has only happened twice for me. Yesterday and this morning. It could be a random co-incidence, but I though I'd post it here as symptoms where the same. Should I still set that setting to say UIGroup? Is that the correct value, or is it a debug value?

I've just started to get similar symptoms when starting my machine. Just as the login screen is about to appear I get a blank bluescreen and the computer restarts. This happend twice before the system manage to start up correctly. I have WB installed, but not yet used it. And I'm not sure if it's due to a recent WB update or anything because I leave my computer on for long periods at a time, often days before rebooting. I had my suspicions to an Ubuntu 6.10 Live CD I had tried out, beca

I dont udnerstand. ObjectDock doesn't contain any files it self, only shortcuts to files. So if something is dragged out from the dock the only thing that disappears is the shortcut. There's an option in ObjectDock that prevents icons from being dragged about.

I'm talking about the standard menu that pops up when you right click on the desktop, away from any objects etc... I really don't like the menu and from what I've read in another post, the ability to get rid of it no longer exists Was that feature in there at all?

It'll be pushed more with Vista having it on by default as well as IE7 that renders with ClearType on by default as well regardless of system setting.

I think this should work. (Not tested it yes. It's past my bedtime...) Sub Object_OnScriptEnter Object.RegisterHotkey 1, &H0000007B 'Trigger on the F12 key (not tested) End Sub Sub Object_OnScriptExit Object.UnregisterHotkey 1 End Sub Sub Object_OnHotkey(id) If id = 1 Then Object.OnTop End If End Sub

How to make objects that interacte with the internet... For example, the word of the day object. I think this is a good one. Especially since DX got new methods to download internet content. I've been thinking of making a little code snipped that makes it easy to traverse XML data. I'll see if I can get that soon now seeing that I'm unemployed. Just got to get my portfolio out of the way first.

You register it in any object you want, just make sure you include the function that handles the callback when the hotkey is pressed.

I won the Readers Drive of issue 37 of CustomPC and I got some nice gadgets for that. At the moment they have been left unused (except the RAM that ended up in my exisiting computer), but I now want to play with my new toys. The motherboard was an Abit AN8 32X Socket 939 and the graphicscard was an XFX Geforce 6800GT. So what I need is a CPU, HD and DVD drive. Easy peasy I though. But I find it very hard to find socket 939 CPU's, seing how they are now outdated by the AM2. And I also don't know

Can it be changed? I don't like apps putting their settings folders and such in the My Documents folder. Makes hard to organize the folder neatly.

PS: I'm a retired programmer And this should matter because? Why is it when ppl disagree with you they are so willing to jump to conclusions, especially if those conclusions put you in a bad light. Where does this flamer Night Train get 22 years of illegal activity from what I wrote above.

I'm kind of surprised though at how so far windowblinds on vista does not seem to offer anything new at all. I dont know - I just expected vista specific skins and something special... And maybe some more vista-specific apps. Remember that the OS has just recently been released. As Neil said, their first step was to make sure WB runs well on Vista while retaining backwards compatibility with older skins. We didn't have all the features possible in XP avai

You know that's simple enough yet people still ask how to accomplish things that are demonstrated in already existing scripts That's because they don't really want to touch any scripting them self. Which is fully understandable. But there is only that many ways of describing how to make a weather gadget. What they need isn't a tutorial on making a gadget, but scripting it self. I'll be interesting with this new Gadget type SD will come out with where they

If I were you I'd stick to instructions/tutorials surrounding the most popular widgets. Obviously those are what people want to know how to do. I disagree. There's enough examples of the common widgets. The widget gallery is nowhere near to represent the true power of DX. I think more uncommon tutorials will be better and hopefully spark some new creations.

Either VBScript or JavaScript. You'll find more examples of VBScript used in DesktopX though. However, if you also plan to do some webdeveloping as well you might find JavaScript to be your language as you then only have to focus on one script language.

Scripting! How is it done and where can it be learned? DesktopX uses a version of WindowScript which consist of JScript and VBScript. W3Schools is a very good starting resource to get to grips with JavaScript and VBScript . Then you got the unvaluable <a href="https://www.stardock.com/products/deskto
