Start Menu shortcut

OD+

from Stardock Forums

Since the Vista Start menu must be an application, does nayone know its name and location?  I want to add a shortcut dock entry to get around the Start Menu not being directly available with OD+ and Vista 64 bit.

Right now my workaround is to use the Windows menu key, which works fine but I'd like a dock entry if it can be done.

Thanks you!

I replaced the "dead" Start Menu that comes with OD+ with the VBS file, changed the icon and it works the way the Start menu should have worked from the beginning.  So why couldn't Stardock do this after so long a time?

Now I just need access to the system tray icons and OD+ will be perfect.

Thanks again!

Well almost.  Still have a few more issues:

1.  Using IE, if I access a site with Quick Time content, Vista switces to basic mode and drops Aero.  This only happens if I launch IE from the dock.

2.  Also related, if3.   I choose windows update from within IE launched from the dock it always fails.

 3.  Chrome fails to run from a dock.
