Thanks very much for your help. I am actually aware of that procedure. It works - but it also makes all the icons look the same: a folder.

In Start11, the Start menu for Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos ... ... points to Libraries, rather than to the folders themselves. For example: Can the Start menu point directly to the respective f

I use - and deeply appreciate - Start11. I wish there was a better way to backup Start11 settings than the method described in How do I backup Start Settings? which relies on exporting and merging a registry key. In the first place, if the structure of the Windows registry changes, as it easily can due to updates, that method is outdated. Beyond that, the method has a limitation, as described in that post. I realize

After experimenting with this problem I would have to conclude that it is a bug. The divider on the left side of the Start10 menu (see the image above) divides the left side into two parts. The upper half is for pinned tabs - i.e., Pin to Start menu (Start 10) - and the bottom half is for recently used applications, even when the checkmark is removed from Show recently used applications . There appears to be no way to stop the divider from appearing

These are not pinned shortcuts. They are recently used apps - this only happens with 'Universal Applications' - and they appear below a border, in a section of the Start10 menu that seems to be dedicated to recently used apps. Please see the attached photo:

I really, really like Start10. Thank you for creating it. On "what would you like to see on the menu" I removed the check mark from "Show recently used applications." Nevertheless, recently used applications appear on the left side of the Start10 menu. How can I prevent recently used applications from appearing?

Bingo! Thanks very much.

I really enjoy the Modern theme of Start10. An entry for Settings appears twice on Start10: on the right side of the menu and again on the left side of the menu. I chose to display Settings as a link on the right side. I didn't choose to have it on the left side, and I can't get rid of it. If I right-click on the left side Settings icon and select Remove from this list , Settings is this still there. It only moves above or below the divider line

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the new 'Modern' theme for Start10. It combines the functionality of the Windows 7 Start menu with the style of Windows 10. Loving it.

I have solved my problem. First, the blank icon belonged to ApplicationFrameHost.exe, a Windows system function. To make it disappear I opened ObjectDock settings and turned off "Show running applications on my dock."

Thanks to both of you. After a restart, the blank icon and its white triangle were gone! This might mean that the blank icon did, in fact, represent a running application. In any case, this has given me the opportunity to delve more deeply into ObjectDock than I normally would, which has been instructive.

There is a blank icon on my dock. Just underneath the icon is a small white triangle. I don't know how this blank icon got onto my dock, but I can't get rid of it. When I right-click on the blank icon, there is no context menu entry to remove it, and if I drag it off the dock it just comes right back. I don't even know what the icon represents. It has no name, and if I right-click on the icon one of the context menu entries says: Run '' How can I ge

Yes are very likely correct about that. [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

Sorry, I'm not buying this answer. I use Start8 (love it) and I can tell you that it is immediately available as soon as my desktop appears.

I am testing the Windows 10 Technical Preview for Enterprise, build 9879. I installed Start8 v1.47 and am pleased to report that it works very well with Windows 10 thus far. Windows 10 is still in development so there's no way to know what the final version of the Windows 10 Start menu will look like. In build 9879 it's a combination of the 'old' Start menu and the Start screen and looks like the dog's dinner, hence my interest in Start8. Does Stardock

There is an update to Start8. It's gotta be somewhere on Stardock's website. But after searching for it and going in circles, I'm throwing in the towel. Where do I find updates for Start8?

Oh grow up. The thing costs 5 bucks. Even less if you can get a combo deal. Get over it.

To summarize, it appears that OD is not a perfect replacement for the Taskbar. But it looks cool, except when icons don't scale. In the final analysis, I'll just have to try it. Thanks for everyone's help.

In your experience, is OD's version of the tray recognized by all applications? Does it respond to settings made in Control Panel (regarding which icons to display in the tray?)

I admit: Object Dock looks cool. But coolness aside, I don't see the point of Object Dock when I have the Windows Taskbar. Why have both? I can understand using Object Dock instead of the Taskbar. But if I hide the Taskbar, I lose the System Notification Area (the 'tray'.) So the Taskbar has to stay. <span style="fon

Thanks for your help. Yes, I logged out and back in after enabling the option. Made no difference. I also found out that Windows 8 does not (yet) provide the ability to remove the translucence of the taskbar. So this may be beyond Start8's ability to change. If so, the option should be removed from Stardock's UI. The translucence of the taskbar is not that big a deal, anyway.

I'm running Start8 1.16 on Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation in a virtual machine. First: I really, really appreciate Start8. I would not even consider Windows 8 without it. The "Disable taskbar translucency" setting doesn't seem to work - my taskbar is still translucent. Can anything be done about this?
