Pidl Shortcut...

I had a very strange thing happen today... I use AVE Desk for the vertical calendar, that is it..nothing else...

Today I took a screenshot, Pidl shortcut which was not running and not added by me added a shortcut to the desktop which showed the screenshot...like a thumbnail image..I thought no big deal..and went to the control panel and made sure that i deleted and closed all desklets related to the Pidl thing... I added more files to my desktop at that point...and noticed that Pidl started doing it again...

Since then I can not kill Pidl..anyone know what to do besides shredding the thing out of AVE Desks's Program File Folder? I would like to keep the calendar..

Hate starting threads but I did a search and found nothing concerning the particular matter

mybe you should check under "Modules" and see that the "Desktop Grabber" is disabled - it creates a new Pidl for every file on your desktop. (If I understood correctly what you mean)

Well I only have three modules listed unless it is not in the appropriate folder...

They are..

desktopmodule.dll

desktopinstaller.dll

automounter.dll

and they are in the pidl shortcuts folder..

I haven't seen the grabber...or possibly it is apart of the other modules, and the only option I have is to install one of them...nothing else works for modules..

EDIT: The grabber is actually the automounter.dll that is listed in the modules and I used the aveinstaller package to take it back out. At this point I believe it did the trick....

Thank You very much for your help..

Well I was wrong the Pidl thing keeps happening, cool add-on if I wa trying to use it but it seems to be out of control right now...any ideas?

sorry about that, when I said "check under Modules" I meant the Modules menu, not the folder

Put back the automounter.dll where it was, open the Avedesk control panel and go to ExtraModules. There you will find the active modules and -I suppose- the Desktop Grabber to disable.

Yeah and I also found another little issue i didn't think about...

I have both the Beta and the 1.3 versions of AVEDesk installed on my system...and I had to close one and start the beta release and disable it as well...

Sorry bout the confusion... am guessing they are sharing a file somewhere or a registry entry. Which would cause the Desklet to be turned on in the other application as well...I am sure that my issue is probably a special one being that most people only have one install of the program...

Thank You for all of your time and help..:-)
