Aqua-Soft ForumsSo, I built this ObjectBar theme with a container that contains a MOST FREQUENTLY USED PROGRAMS list. But the list never changes, it seems.
Will it change in real time or something? How does it work?
Objectbar Mfu Programs List
Hrm... well it updates based on the programs you run from within ObjectBar only (e.g. the programs you run using its start menu)
Having a hard time figuring out how to watch explorer for all program executions :-/ Might be expanded in the future, but really though the MFU Programs list works by watching your useage of its start menu/etc.

Aha. I see that now. So anything that is launched from objectbar itself (in any context) will be tracked as a MFU program?
Another thing:
I built a bunch of containers with show/hide seperators. They all work well, except for the one that shows/hides my systemtray. It hides properly, but when I try to show it again I get an ugly effect (it is like the whole menu expands for a split second or something) and then it shows up properly. Am I doing something wrong?
Hrmph: programs launched from program shortcuts don't get added into the list.
Look into the XP bars that were included in the program and you will see how to get the mfu to work properly.
From what I can tell, it's stores/reads this info from the registry.
Here is the key I found the info in.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\ObjectBar\Recent\Programs
Still trying to figure out where MS keeps the info for the start menu MRU list.
It's not where you would think it is.
