Reply to Object Bar (or Windows?) question in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Please help... In Windows 2000, without ObjectBar, I can go into the Start Menu -> Settings -> Taskbar and Start Menu -> Advanced and clear my Most Recently Used (MRU) documents list. But WITH ObjectBar, I don't see this function. Can anyone tell me where it is? I have looked on the Web and the only other way to clear the list is to have a registry tweak which does this upon shutdown or reboot. But I don't want to have to reboot just to do this!

Object Bar (or Windows?) question in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hi. I have been using WindowBlinds 3.5 under Win2K (SP3) for a while, and was happy to finally take the purchase plunge a few weeks ago. But now I am trying ObjectBar, and although it is nice to have another nice pile of powerful features, I am opening a big can of worms too. For instance, I am using the WinXP OB theme, the last on the list of bundled themes. Obviously, the Start Menu turns into the type often found on true WinXP desktops. But I can't find where to clear the list of rec

Oops. OK, a little searching goes a long way. I just didn't know that I would have to go through litestep.NET and then shellfront.org to find what I wanted. Webmaster, any plans to adjust links? Everybody else: opinions on relative stability etc.?

And where is this LiteStep that people keep referring to (and making skins for)? There is no real website at that URL; it's just a generic search-and-shop portal. Was it perchance some beta connected with Stardock and for which official support was discontinued after WB launched?

WB: opinions on "What Next" in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have been using WB 3.1A with Windows 2000 Pro for half a year now and am pretty pleased with it. There are about two or three dozen skins I DL'ed from WinCustomize, and I am very happy with some of them including Saphardana, Pabulum, Liquid2, Heavy Construction, OSXP and others. In case anybody is wondering: Duron 800 Asus A7A266 256 MB PC133 RAM 20 GB 6200 WD Voodoo3 3500 TV AGP etc. I enjoy some of these skins so much that I would also like to consid

Jafo: did you have XP installed first or Win98? For quite a while I had a good thing going with Win98SE on primary, Win2K on secondary and Mandrake Linux 8.1 on tertiary. My experience led me to believe that at all costs, Win98 had to be installed first before anything else; however, my surf on the Web shows people putting XP on first and doing funky stuff to be able to install Win98 afterwards. Now, after a complete wipe, I have just finished Win98 and have nearly installed XP

Anything's possible. I'm sure the American men's and women's hockey teams, with their strong records, certainly take this event seriously and don't care whether the rest of their country dismisses their sport as frivolous. Anyhow, it promises to be an interesting game. May the best team win! Bill Sawyer: thanks for the funny Chilly Beach stuff. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/im

Bets on men's hockey, Canada vs. USA? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

A-ha! Caught you there. My question does NOT so much ask opinions on who will win, but how many of the average American public will continue saying "Canada Sucks" regardless of the result? Of course, the esteemed American readership of www.WinCustomize.com is a step above, so I will assume such generalizations do not apply here. Let's say Canada wins. Reactions: "We gave them the gold."

I must state for the record that the widow of the murdered WSJ journalist, Mariane Pearl (a journalist herself), is much stronger than I thought a person in her situation could ever be. I have enclosed a link to a public statement issued by her below: http://asia.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/asiapcf/south/02/22/pearl.wife.statement/ It seems to me that she is advocating something much higher than mere revenge, which in her case is really incredible and commendable in the highest.

Jafo: here is an interview article which doesn't center specifically on just Rock versus Classical, but does put a very interesting light on our little side discussion. Link Migellito: Sorry to hear that you equate the more artistic sports with frivolous artifice. "Synchronized frog twirling"? That kind of gross exaggeration doesn't help the debate, even if it does seem funny for a half-second.

I rather prefer to say that it is both a medal-and-points race AND a showcase for various different types of sport. Yeah. that sounds about right.

Actually, over the past century, much HAS already been written or typed on the debate regarding the validity of music competitions, but that's such a large can of worms that it really belongs on a separate forum or newsgroup even. What about gymnastics? This is something I like to watch, for many of the same reasons in figure skating. But aren't things such as the floor exercises seem subject to subjectivity?

Reply to Newsflash: Justice is made: double gold in figure skating in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Thank you for your clarification, Craeonics. But if indeed you have figure skated yourself, it must be that opinions among even veterans of the sport must vary. (Yes, I say "sport," as I think of "sport and more" instead of "less than sport" or "other than sport.") I don't dispute your contention that the awarding of two gold medals makes a joke out of the whole thing. But I think there would still have been a stink made from within the IOC organization if anybody with integrity had sto

"What makes your opinion any more valid or important than craeonics'?" DUH, opinions are validated based on experience and observation of all angles! (Plus the fact that Craeonics chose to punctuate with the term "Bullshit," which illustrates his infinite wisdom in this matter to no end.) Let's consider some unrelated analogies. To be absolutely blunt, if you are a Caucasian you will ne

To "craeonics": I'm curious. Just how much experience do you have in the arts? It smells as though you are in favor only of sports that can be judged unequivocally, where there is no argument in ANYONE's eyes as to who came first, second or third. Sure, there is basic inherent value in that, but to summarily exclude something as beautiful and passionate as figure skating is terrible. On the one hand, figure skating is less clear-cut, but that is taken into account with separate

Two newbie questions! :| in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

First of all, I want to mention how great I think WindowBlinds is! I just tried out v3.1A for the first time and although I used to think skinning computer environments was a waste of time (even as a former musical artist myself), this is great stuff. Windows 2000 Professional never looked better! I am considering installation on my Win98SE partition as well. My favorites so far are, in no particular o
