Startup Problems

from Stardock Forums
I am spent several days getting everything set up the way that I like it, and I am extremly happy with it now. There are just 2 small problems.

When I login, the desktopx desktop that I have set up doesn't load. I have checked the little box inside DesktopX to load on startup, but it doesn't. Am I missing something?

The wallpaper also resets it's position back to "centered" as opposed to "stretch". I have tried everything to keep the darn thing stretched, but it keeps popping back to centered when I load the DesktopX that I have been working on. Is there a way to fix this?

Are you saving the desktop after setting it up?

I usually 'save as' originalname2 so I don't screw up the original

Yeah, I am saving it to a different file, after a bad incident with a corrupted file. I also have the copy files to the current desktop folder checked, thinking that it would pull from there when it starts up, but it doesn't.

I am very confused as to why it isn't loading the desktop, or even starting up. Is there a command line that I can use to manually create a startup shortcut?

Ah Ha! I am a doofus!

Ok, on the DesktopX frame, there is a "desktop" button, and that let's you specify how the desktop is displayed! Doh!

As far as the getting it to load on startup, I put a shortcut to the dxtheme in the startup folder and viola!

Ok, is is possible to turn off the box that comes up and tells you which desktop just loaded, so that I don't have to click ok?

No, I am not running Icon X.

nevermind (used to be a conflict - seems now long resolved)

don't know.. haven't had enough time lately to sit down and work it out (for me, having DTX run at startup screws with my dialup connection loading)
