| | Shortcut Toolbar Replacement I have a problem with the Shortcut Toolbar replacement (don't know if it has a name in Vista)... I have docked two folders, one to the left side and one to the right side of the desktop, and that works beautifully, but the folder on the right side keeps going away, and sometimes reappearing, at will (not my will). I have tried to remove the hidden attribute when it goes away, but then it just shows up on the desk top as a folder icon. The only reliable way I have found to return it is to reboot (Any thoughts? |

| | Re: Shortcut Toolbar Replacement its strange.. it might be the nature of the shortcuts or items in the folder that is causing the difference... perhaps vista is scanning something there.. or it might be your antivirus . Only with experimentation will you be able to find the culprit by removing some files or shortcuts I have found a far better way to do such things... I use a shareware called true launchbar its latest version is compatible with vista.. fantastic product. www.truelaunchbar.com/ also there is a free launcher from jetaudio here http://www.cowonamerica.com/download/jettoolbar.html you might also want to see stardocks objectdock http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/ "Dutch" <email@xxxxxx> wrote in message news art1of1.1.p3KsAECWrXjAiQ@xxxxxxQuote: > Autohide & Allways on Top are both selected > > "steve sonsino" <steve.sonsino@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: >>how about the autohide checkmark? >> >> >>"Dutch" <email@xxxxxx> wrote in message >>news art1of1.1.flv4$xZ%23u6pO2A@xxxxxxQuote: >>>I have a problem with the Shortcut Toolbar replacement (don't know if it >>>has a >>> name in Vista)... >>> >>> I have docked two folders, one to the left side and one to the right >>> side >>> of >>> the desktop, and that works beautifully, but the folder on the right >>> side >>> keeps >>> going away, and sometimes reappearing, at will (not my will).

| | Re: Shortcut Toolbar Replacement Since it is only the right side, with the left working nomally, I tend to discount antivirus, et all. The one thought that went through my mind was a possible issue with the side bar and gadgets - I may disable it to see if that solves the problem. Thanks for the alternative add-ins - I will definitely investigate.
