Computer/Manage option not working in Object Dock

from Stardock Forums

Vista 64 bit

I have added "Computer" to Object Dock by dragging the desktop icon onto it. It works as normal except when I right click on Object Dock "Computer" icon & select "Manage". I then get "Application not found" although the original desktop icons works fine in this respect.

Any suggestions?

My computer management comes up when I click manage Richard.

I also see this argument string under the My Computer dock entry properties, although I am not sure if this has anything to do with it.  This much I am sure about is, I didn't create this string when I added My Computer to my dock.

If you don't see an argument string in the dock entry properties for My Computer, you may want to copy this one in just to give it a try.  Again, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with your issue, but it's the only thing that I see out of the ordinary.

Let us know what happens and good luck to you!

Thanks for the suggestion. In fact that exact argument was already there. Tried temporarily removing it but same problem.

This problem is on dual boot machine. It's only there on Windows 7 x64. On Vista x86+SP2 it works correctly although the argument entry is blank.

In both cases it's ObjectDock 1.9 free version I'm using.

ObjectDock is not completely 64 bit compatible.  Most likely launching Computer Management in 64 bit versions of Windows is launching a 64 bit application, which does not work when launching from the dock, which is running in 32 bit mode.
