Unload ObjectDock through a command line?

How? Is it even possible?

from WinCustomize Forums
Hello!

Im just woundering if it is possible to unload ObjectDock (1.9) through a command line?
I could use taskkill /f /im ObjectDock.exe but then it won't save any recent changes that has been made.

I have also tried taskkill /im ObjectDock.exe but nothing happens

Thanks!

The developer's birthday is today so he may have missed the thread. WWW Link

I seem to remember a thread a while back where someone was writing (or trying to write) a routine to unload OD while they ran a game and reload OD when they quit the game. You might try searching through the forum threads.

Hello, can someone please upload the file again? The link doesn't work anymore.
I also have this problem when playing games, just ending the process would not save the settings. Maybe it's a good idea to implement quit command for objectdock EXE.

Anyone could help me? I tried to search CloseObjectDock.exe using Google, but found nothing except this forum. I could find nothing more regarding CloseObjectDock.exe. Can someone that have the file upload it, please?

You will have to wait till I am in the office again. I'm not 100% certain I took that link down so give it another try. If so let me know and I will put it back up once I am in again.

hookay sorry for the delay.

ObjectDock no longer has the UnloadObjectDock.exe bundled with it. The developers were not aware that it got left out. Look for it in the coming updates!

Ok, thank you for checking it out and make sure.

One more question, is it possible to toggle disable-enable a specific dock by clicking a shortcut?
Well, till now I'm still using the old ObjectDock, because the 1.9 doesn't have "normal layering". It is whether always show or always hide when a full screen window active. I'm too used to with the layering behavior. No layering option in the new version, so it should be I'm the only one, not a problem tho I could always use the old one. But, hopefully the UnloadObjectDock.exe would work on the old version also.
