In the Dock Entry Properties "Link" field, select My Computer from the dropdown list.

select My Computer from the dropdown list.


When you say dropdown list are you talking about the Browse button?
WindowBlinds - Free yourself of the default settings, customize your desktop.

No, it means click on the little arrow (the one at the end of the white entry-field for "Link") just above the 'Browse' button. If you do that you will get a list from which you can choose 'My Computer'.

There is no drop down arrow in the Dock Entry Properties window except in the run window. I have a srceen shot of it but no way to upload this to the forum.

Really?? there is one in my Dock?? What version are you using, and are you using the free version or are you using ObjectDock Plus?

Underneath your Link entry field (left of the 'Browse' Button), do you have a little box and "show folder in a menu"?

Try the following; drag your "My Computer" Icon from your Desktop to your ObjectDock. You can then right click on this shortcut and click on "Dock Entry Properties" from there you can change the icon.

I tried this and it worked for me. Unfortunately I have no idea whether that also works with the free version.

If you don't have a my Computer Icon on your desktop you can right click on your Desktop > Properties > Desktop > Customise Desktop > General > tick "My Computer" and click on apply. You can remove this item the same way after you have created your dock entry, it will still work.
