Vista 64bit + ObjectDock = "Path does not exist" ???

Launching software from docks

from Stardock Forums

I have Windows Vista x64 Home Premium installed on my PC. I recently purchased and installed ObjectDock. I have several folders set up containing shortcuts to program that I use. Many will not start because "The specified path does not exist". If I click the folder and choose "Folder: xxxx" the folder opens normally and I can run the software from the shortcuts.

Any idea why I'm having this issue with ObjectDock?

Details:
ObjectDock Plus v1.91k[a].025

Error message:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Mahjong\Mahjong.exe
The specified path does not exist.

Check the path, and then try again.

I'm not sure there. I tried something similar on my 64bit and did fine. What I would suggest is to create a short cut of the .exe file in the folder of the game, then drag THAT to the dock. From there try launching it and see if you get the same. If you do you can right click on the dock and select properties to change the strange looking name.

Let me know if that works for you.

That seems to have worked...

What I had originally done is created COPY's of the icons found in my Start menu.  Even after correcting the path in the shortcut it still didn't work.

Oh well.
