It launches My Computer? Or it doesn't? I'm not sure I follow.
I did test this out myself, and it works fine for me ... it loads My Computer as if I clicked on the WindowsXP shortcut on my desktop. Are you sure you copied the text exactly as show above? Including the "::" ... because if you don't, you WILL get an error.

With regard to the webcam thing .... it sounds like you are providing the shortcut to the folder the app is in rather than the executable for the program. Other than that, I personally don't know.

this is a screen shot of what it says, but the shortcut does work, it just doesn't tell you any information in the sublabel, instead it says file not found. The webcam is a system folder right? At least I thought it was, I don't have an executable file to view the contents on my webcam or digicam, it's a folder on my system. Does that make sense?

It's always nice when people write books. 

Heh, point well taken.

Here's another idea.

The only way to truly help Andreas the way you intend to, IMHO, would be to set up a minimalistic user-oriented bug/request tracking system, a simple table display where each entry has a link to a more detailed description, voting system for people to vote for/against a certain entry, moderators to validate and assign priorities, and finally a field for Andreas to place HIS priority on it and of course to actually rule on it (yes, no, unlikely, maybe, impossible, etc.), since these would be basically user wishes that Andreas might rightfully reject or accept as he desires. All this of course, would have to be approved by Andreas himself.

yes, but I had no idea about the absolute reprocutions of such an act.

maybe you all ignored it, but I admitted being at fault for asking alot too.

I can admit being wrong and making mistakes...can anyone else do the same?

[alilm]

I'm only joking Duckie ol' Pal but it does mean you shouldn't come down on others so hard, at least, not until we have new rules.

[Duckie]

heh...comparitively to how people think I USED to be, I'm being extremely mild.

IN fact, I dont think I am coming down hard on anyone...just trying to calm the storm.

Kids these days are so used to immediate satisfaction that they get impatient waiting on something.

Yes, I said kids...because as we found out from that poll, most of this site is 14-18yrs old

me and my 34 yr old a$$ are going to try and make some desklets...

[pixarman]

Anyone having trouble with Sysstats?

I set my sysstats desklets up and everything works great, but when I reboot my machine or Avedesk it can't load the sysstats.dll file and I have to set them up again. I'm not sure why it's not working. It worked fine with the other version of avedesk.

Anything I can do about this?

[borkas]

anyone having problem with dual montors and nvidia's nview?
i have the issue that when throwing desklets on second monitor they do not react any more after a while... on first monitor everything is working very well and great!

not to say that andreas.. well words fail me.. GORGIOUS APP!

Ah ok, I can get the "file not found" when I show the sublabel for My Computer. Thing is, I don't think the sublabel really works for system folders yet ... I'm not sure, so if anyone else reading this knows better, inform us please.

With regard to the webcam/digicam folder. I'm not sure. I don't have one for my webcam or digital camera. I DO know that certain apps will make folders in "My Documents" for use with the device or apps. Like, my ATI TV thing puts a folder in My Documents for storing streams or recordings or snapshots.

In this case, I would add a "Folder" desklet and point the target to the folder like:
"C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\My Videos"
Then it will show whatever you have it show for the sublabel under "Label Format"

If it's a 'special' system folder like My Computer with the reg name ... I wouldn't know what that value is I'm afraid.

What more can you say beggar's beleif really.
Rude picture removed, please don't post pictures that show disrespect to the Samurize crew. - Ave
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No need to be rude. I think AveDesk is a great app in its own way. Comparing it to Samurize is like comparing chalk and cheese - they are two different applications with different purposes <_<

[AndreasV]

Nem, you are right: picture removed. Samurize is another FREE application, that serves a totally different purpose. Ofcourse, there are similiarities between the two applications - widgets, but AveDesk is nowhere near the level that Samurize reaches.

[Yoshiki X]

Thanks AndreasV for this great app, this is so great, you rule man.

I had the similar problem, but LoofyGun (thanks again) helped me:
Put the SysStatsCom.dll in the Avedesk root folder, and move SysStats folder from %Program Files%\Avedesk\Desklets\SysStats\Docklets\SysStats\... in
%Program Files%\Avedesk\Desklets\SysStats...

This first pathway was builded for ObjecDock

It works

Please, use the specific topic (AveDesk 1.1. bug Report)

[b.wissing]

Is there anyway to hide unhide all the widgets?

[Louie Mantia]

Thanks Ave for thanking me .
Anyways, awesome work...as I have already guessed...I think.

[MetalMusicAddict]

I have to give my thanx Ave. This is awesome. I was using Kapsels. This made me switch. Again, thanx and continued success.

[Quazimodo]

Ave,

I just found myself using AveIconBook to find Icons and then I send them to AveIconfier to switch them to PNG so later I can use them for desklets in AveDesk....

I must say - WOW... I'm impressed man.

GREAT JOB!
