Hi all,
I am a new user of objectdock. I have been puttting shortcuts on OD for opening new Word file, new notepad file etc.- you know the ones that we get in Windows by right clicking on empty desktop area. However, I can't figure out how to add a shortcut for creating a new folder on Desktop (again, one of the options that we get in Windows by right clicking). Please help.
Thx in advance.
Open up a new blank window in Notepad (Start Menu-->Run-->notepad.exe)
Enter in the following:
mkdir %userprofile%desktopFOLDERNAME
Fill in FOLDERNAME with the name of the folder you want to create.
Then, save this file as create.bat, and stick it wherever you want to. Link the ObjectDock shortcut to this .bat file.
Tell me if it works!

Hi nightcrawler,
Thx for your reply. Tried out your method. But along with creating a new folder, it also created two more folders named "and" and "settings". The former was empty while the settings folder had another folder "administrator" inside which was another folder which was empty. Also, every time i clicked the shortcut on OD, the MSDOS window would flash once-not very desirable.
Pl suggest some other method in your knowledge. Others in the forum also - pl help out here.

Ah, sorry about that:
Enter in the following:
cd C:Documents and SettingsYOURUSERNAMEDesktop
mkdir FOLDERNAME
Fill in FOLDERNAME with the name of the folder you want to create and YOURUSERNAME with your user name.
Then, save this file as create.bat, and stick it wherever you want to. Link the ObjectDock shortcut to this .bat file.
No way to hide the MSDOS window permanently, but you can make it appear for a shorter time by downloading this, sticking it in your C:WindowsSystem32 folder, and then putting "cmdow @ /HID" on a line above the other code, but remove the quotes!
Hope this actually helps
