[help] How To Change Ical.ini To Run Software
you mean run a program? just drag the program to the dock, then change the icon to the ical png/ico.
I think he means that he wants to link the ical docklet to some program e.g. some calendar. If so, i don't think it's possible. Correct me if i'm wrong.

[balki]Don't be ridiculous[/balki]. Of course it's possible. Look at your ini, and there should be an [Exec] section. If there isn't, mine looks like:
[Exec]
FileName=control.exe
Parameters=timedate.cpl
Simply place the executable path in the FileName line, and comment out the Parameters line with a semicolon if you don't need it (which you probably won't). For example, to launch the Palm Desktop software when clicking the iCal docklet, this is what I'd do:
[Exec]
FileName="C:\Program Files\Palm\palm.exe"
;FileName=control.exe
;Parameters=timedate.cpl

HAHAHAHAHHAHAH
It had been a while since i had heard about balki!! hahahha that is hilarious!!!!
@toby: thx i tried that too (linking 3or4different applications),
but for some reason it doesnt work for me. 
for me it seems like i have to set values for the parameters.
any other ideas?
Look at the shortcut that you'd normally use to launch the app. What does it have in the Target field? If you copy that line exactly (including any quotation marks), I can't see why it wouldn't work. Parameters should only be necessary for apps with command-line switches (although I'd suspect that just the whole target line in quotes would work as well). Another question would be which version of the docklet you're running (I have 0.2-beta, FWIW).
i dont know why but it even doesnt work with the windows notepad.exe.
if i ad a parameter like c:\......\xxx.txt it does run and opens the link,
if i dont use a parameter nothing happens! , except the jumping icon.
doesnt work for me-->
[Exec]
FileName="C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe"
;FileName=control.exe
;Parameters=timedate.cpl
does work--> (but not the way it shoul work)
[Exec]
FileName="C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe"
Parameters=C:\WINDOWS\system32\xxx.txt
;FileName=control.exe
;Parameters=timedate.cpl
ps. i use ical Ver.0.21
i just replaced my v0.21-ical.dll by v0.2beta and
the linking without parameters did work 
but with 0.2 ical doesnt run properly on my system
(thats why i did the update)
so still my question, does anyone know how to change
ical.ini v0.21 to make the docklet launch programms?
thx
mad@work
If you uncomment the original entries in the .ini file, then left-click on the ical docklet does it bring up the time/date panel OK?

OK, I have 0.21 here at home, and I just got it running by editing the .ini as follows:
[Exec]
FileName=C:\Program Files\Palm\Palm.exe
Parameters=" "
Apparently the forced blank Parameters line is required.
There is a bug in the iCal docklet... the docklet expects something in BOTH the FileName and Parameters. If you don't have a Parameter to use just put a dot '.'
example:
[Exec]
FileName=notepad.exe
Parameters=.
sorry about that guys...
thx albeik but using a dot doesnt solve
the problem on my computer (i try to run
ms outlook) maybe it works with other programms.
anyway, using:
parameter=" "
works fine for me
@toby: thank u! (Y)

I said correct me if I'm wrong, since i haven't been using Y'z dock in months, i can't remember everything.
I dont think he meant to flame you or anything, have you ever heard balki saying it? id use it every 2 senteces if i could! Hehehehe..
Cheers Guys
Since i've never heard of balki, it's flaming to me 
hehehehe, its this character from a sitcom (i think the mname was perfect strangers) and this guy, balki was the american's cousing whoi had just come from a tiny town in greece so his accent was brilliant! he was a little greek rednek and he used to say "dont be ridiiiicolous" and then turn out to be true hehehehe...
Cheers..

Didn't expect you to remember everything. It was just an attempt at being humorous. For some reason, the Balki (Bronson Pinchot) character's catchphrase from Perfect Strangers came to mind. At least I didn't use Axel Foley's response to Pinchot's Serge character from Beverly Hills Cop: "Get the f**k outta here!", eh?
