Any Way to Set Default Menu Tab?

from Stardock Forums

Is there a way to set a default menu tab in ObjectDock 2?  After selecting a menu tab and a program to launch, the next time you use ObjectDock 2, the tab & corresponding menu displays from the previous launch.  I put my most commonly used programs in the first tab (and menu) so I don't have to go hunting for them.  It would be very useful to be able to tell ObjectDock 2 the default menu to display each time the dock is activated.  Is there any way to set this default?

I don't know if this is what you're looking for but I did mine this way. Create a new icon on the desktop. Name it with whatever you put in it. Take that icon and do a drag and drop on the dock. Each time OD2 comes up that icon is right there. It can be a short cut to a specific program or a folder you keep other stuff in. Works for me.

I realize it is a few months after the last posting, but I would also like to be able to set the default tab for OD2.  I don't want it starting with whatever the last tab access was.  I also have my status docklets and my most used icons on one tab, and others categorized into other tabs.

I wrote an AutoIt script that will launch OD2 for you, after adjusting the INI file to point all tabbed docks to their first tab (tab 0).

You can find the script at http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/137847-start-objectdock-on-default-tab.

Nicely done.
