Start Menu From Dock In Xp Sp1

Please suggest me a program which can act as start menu shortcut in ob .86 as "presstart" stopped working in xp sp1

Thanks in advance

presstart.exe still works in SP1. Are you using ObjectBar? Trayserver.exe (a part of OB) conflicts with presstart. Open task manager, shut down trayserver.exe, then presstart.exe will work. I've e-mailed the author of presstart.exe numerous times about this with no response.

Thanks for the solution but objectbar will not be workable without trayserver, so irequire some alternate program for start menu

Yeah, I know. That's not the solution- it's the cause. I don't think there is a solution. You could just use your Windows button on your keyboard, but that's not a solution either. :-(

I had a program called 'Winkey' made just for this purpose, find it here:

i've found that there are many things you can do/open using java script.

open up notepad and paste this in:

set WshShell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.SendKeys"^{ESC}"

save it as startmenu.vbs and then create a link to it in OD.
