backed up and reinstalled objectbar shows just "---" characters in certain menue folders

e.g. MyDocuments, Recent list, MFU

hello. i wanted to know how to best restore an objectbar. it's like this: i restored the pc with an acronis image and had to install object desktop again.
before, i copied the objectbar i created (the objectbars are usually found in "c:\programme\stardock\objectbar" (here are also the preinstalled objectbars).

so, i moved the copy back to its ordinary place, started objectbar and loaded it. everything's ok so far.
in this objectbar i once included also desktopx gadgets, which are also running fine.

i also had some menu elements included like: show MFU list, show "My Documents", "Recent" list etc (those menues etc which everyone can use for its own bar)
 the problem is now: i can open e.g. "My Documents"  but there's nothing written in it, eg. ist just looks like

MyDocuments
|
<folder icon> "---"

This "---" is the problem, there should be something like "My Pictures" etc or a programm name etc  , but it's just a "---"
The same also for Recent List etc: just "---"

Rebooting the PC or  unloading and reloading the objectbar doesn't help. That's why I ask maybe I forgot something when I restored my bar. As I said, I copied the whole folder "MySidebar" (the name i gave for it) and restored it on its usual place.

Anyone got a clue? Thnaks a lot!

What happens if, instead of using your "restored" bar element, you create a new one?

Hi, I'm still at work, but I will create a new objectbar from scratch when i'm at home and will tell you...

hello. just tried it out, loaded also the preinstalled objectbars, but everywhere the same, just those "---" ;-(
Even when I create a new one, it's the same, i just made "create", added a special program folder and again this "---" stuff everywhere!!!

What version of OB?
I can't replicate what you have.  Might want to uninstall and reinstall.
Have you moved where MyDocuments (or the other special folders) live?

Hi.

Now I fixed it :-) I was uninstalling ObjectBar and reinstalling it. (i was doing already as u said :-)
But the NOW, when prompted fter installing to run, I did run OB and loaded the "Accessorize" standard theme (my theme is based on this one).
In the loaded OB "Accessorize" everything was fine, so I did also try out my own theme, there also, everythings fine now :-)

Before, I did not run anything first, but anyway as you asked now, "MyDocuments" or anything else didn't change its place...

Thanks Zubaz
Bye, launchee
