[quote]Wish I knew why it wasn't showing up in impulse now [/quote] Check your Impulse settings - maybe you've got it hidden? Click on white square in the top left corner of Impulse. In the dropdown list that appears, make sure "Show hidden applications" is checked. The version that's showing on Impulse is 1.00 dated 3/11/2008 so it might be worth a look.

1.) I see it listed on my Impulse, I just now downloaded and archived it to be sure it was there. (Didn't actually install it.) You should be able to just get it from there, that's what I'd do. Otherwise, yes you should be able to install Stardock Central and restore an archive of it that you made before. (You would have had to have made an archive of the specific application though.) By default if I remember right SDC looked for archives in C:\Program Files\Star

[quote]How is that better?[/quote] Well I'm thinking that whomever/whatever/however the styrofoam is being used now, that amount would have likely been used anyway. Plus you would have had the extra amount used by what has now been replaced by paper. So in other words, if a ton a year is used now, and a ton a year has been replaced by paper, you would instead have two tons being used now more or less. Ya I'm completely making up those numbers, but that's the jis

You're reading way too much into my post. All I'm saying is "Less sandwiches boxed in styrofoam equals less styrofoam in the landfills," and as far as I'm concerned that's an upside. For that matter here's another upside: The less power you use and the less gas you burn translates to giving less money to the providers. I'm just so darn cheery.

Oh it's not all bad. It's hard to tell just how many tons of styrofoam aren't buried in the landfills for the next thousand years just because MacDonald's started using paper wrappers instead of those styrofoam boxes they had been using. And that's just one company doing one very simple thing quite awhile ago. But ya I could do without the cheerleading.

Well that's pretty pathetic. Seems like that "option" package with the wipe capability shouldn't be an "option", it should just be built in. I know they said it was something like $500, but if they just built it in at the factory instead of as an add-on it probably wouldn't really add that much to the price. 'Course I would've thought that the oil industry might have given some thought to "How To Plug An Offshore Leak" before they started poking holes in the oce

Well that bites. Only thing I can think of that might be useful is to try clearing the cache directories, just because that seems to fix so many bizarre things. Doesn't seem likely that it would do it, but I guess it might be worth a shot.

Reply to Brand new dude. have some questions in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Regarding the DesktopX, I think what he sees on Impulse will depend on whether or not he has Impulse's "Show Pre-releases" option checked. I think what he would want to do, and I suspect Redneck will agree with me here [e digicons];)[/e] , is make sure the "Show Pre-releases" option is NOT checked and install the regular non-pro version. Ya?

Thanks LightStar, I was just coming back to say I found it. I'm on IE8, you get it back by going into Windows Explorer ( as opposed to Internet Explorer) tools/folder options/file types/"advanced button" for the wba file type. Pffft, piece of cake. I wasted more time poking around the Microsoft Knowledge base search and not finding it. [e digicons]:)[/e] I think the last time I did it I must've done it "the hard way" somehow or oth

Ya I'm getting the "Open or Save" prompt after a leftclick on the Winstep themes. At some point I must have unchecked the "Always Ask" box on the WB's, I've been using the rightclick "Save target as" for ages. Argh, as I remember getting that "open or save" option back after you've unchecked the box is a pain in the neck. Wonder what else I've done that with.
