Development of Stardock in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

Hi guys! I know that this seems to be a sore point for many...but I still think it is important! I have been pleased with my Objectdock Plus for several years but I see that dispite many questions about the development of objectdock no one gets an answer that enspires confidence in the development team... As of late the weather icon has stopped working....and YES...I know many have posted about it but no fix has been forth coming... So....is it possible that th

Reply to ObjectDock & Windows 10 in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Hi guys! What I have done that seems to have stopped the little rascals from starting is... I have disabled Superfetch in services and then en the registry turned off superfetch and prefetch... In the registry HKEY_LCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM >CurrentControlSet > Control > Session Manager > Memory Management > PrefetchParameters... On the right you have EnablePrefetcher and EnableSuperfetch... change both to 0 from 3 and that seems to do the trick... <

Reply to ObjectDock & Windows 10 in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Hi Uvah! Thanks for that workaround.... One wonders if objectdock is too sensitive or that when these background apps are supposed to be turned off...they are in fact still on....never been a real fan for Windows 10 but have set up computer for my license for when Windows 7 is too old... I am sure there will be advances in objectdock by then and I will be tweaking Windows 10 to get rid of all the spyware...doesn't leave much but I am like many others and think Microsof

Reply to ObjectDock & Windows 10 in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Hi again! I for one would gladly pay for a new version of objectdock that is designed for Windows 10. I never assumed that once I bought the product it would mean for all versions of Windows.... For the most part the dock is working.... One thing that others may have noticed is the fact that even if you turn off the background apps in Windows 10 a white dot appears on the dock to signify an app is active...and when you click on it it then opens it to the "settings" win

Reply to ObjectDock & Windows 10 in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Hi guys! An old thread....many ask about support for Windows 10 and the reply is it isn't supported.... Is there a plan to support this version of Windows as it is the latest and the last one from Microsoft... I, like many others, have paid for objectdock and would like a straight answer to this question and not that it isn't supported... Please forgive me if I am not aware of updated information regarding Windows 10 Thanks!

Tab has separated from dock in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Hi folks [e digicons]:D[/e] I awoke today to find that a tab had separated and become its own dock and was in a different position to the rest of tabs on the main tabbed dock? Is there a way to rejoin a tab to the other tabbed dock? bookie56

Reply to Running 64bit Programs in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Hi guys! DisturbedComputer! Thanks for your help on this...I have found out something...it is the stackdocklet I am using that doesn't seem to support the shortcuts to the 64bit programs. I use the stackdocklet to keep things tidy, but included shortcuts for Internet Explorer and Photoshop as separate shortcuts and they are working fine.. I have adopted your method for Defrag and that works great! Just need to look at the stackdocklet..... &

Reply to Adding defrag to dock in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Hi guys! Hi have tried creating a normal link on the desktop and then adding it to the dock..nada?! Thats what I find strange...If you add a normal shortcut to the dock and then browse to C:\Windows\System32\ and look for rstrui.exe you wont find it. That is why dragging the link to the dock doesn't work....? Just comes up "couldn't find that file and please check you have the right name etc" This must be a problem with objectdock plus? BTW
