You have to read their 4 page documentation. There are a few cliffs to manage. They also have a Forum where I got help a couple of times - good people. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-stupid-me-problem#post-99000 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 14:31:45 +0000 LH 99000@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>bob. So what toolbar do you actually have ? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-stupid-me-problem#post-98999 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 14:28:32 +0000 ispalten 98999@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>WHS, I see you use DVD Flick...</p> <p>I'm running the 64 bit version of Vista and it gave me problems although it did work. Did you have problems and are you running 64 bit Vista?</p> <p>Problems I had were :</p> <p> - During install, it didn't create the Icon, and the first time I tried to execute it I got a BSOD, Windows shutdown to protect me....<br /> - On re-boot the Icon wasn't there but it was showing correctly in the properties. Deleted the icon and dragged the EXE to the desktop.<br /> - When executed it started the MS Installer for MS Office. Their forums had many people with this problem, but I couldn't tell what Vista version?<br /> - Once it did open it worked fine, but I discovered that my DVD reader was DELETED from the system. Came back on re-boot. Couldn't<br /> make Device Manager find it again though unless re-booted?<br /> - It took a LONG time to open, mostly due to the MS Installer running and deleting the DVD device (It didn't delete the DVD R/W drive).<br /> - I found that if I ran it as Administrator MS Installer didn't start, but the time to open varied greatly, and it still deleted the DVD reader drive.</p> <p>You see any of these problems?</p> <p>Irv S.</p> <p>(Sorry to hijack this thread). </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-stupid-me-problem#post-98976 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 12:46:07 +0000 bobtheguardian 98976@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>thanks guys!

I like the "hide" function.<br /> 6. it will look somwhat like that:</p> <p><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii36/whs37/HTG18/dock.png"></p> <p>The folder you created will stay on the desktop. That is your toolbar repository. Anything you move in and out of there will be reflected in the toolbar.<br /> PS: mine is called "Toolbar" because that is the name I gave the folder. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-stupid-me-problem#post-98967 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 10:43:13 +0000 ispalten 98967@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I'm not sure it is the Dell Dock. I have it and it doesn't have that background. Dell Dock is a mutated Stardock product, ObjectDock. If so, it would be found under STARDOCK on the START--&gt;ALL PROGRAMS list.</p> <p>There is another program, RocketDock, that is similar are well.</p> <p>Irv S. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-stupid-me-problem#post-98926 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 05:05:45 +0000 ProstheticHead 98926@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Dell dock? If it is, it should be on your Start menu somewhere. At least I think it should be.... (I uninstalled it on first boot) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-stupid-me-problem#post-98924 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 04:19:35 +0000 Scott 98924@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Did it look similar to this ?</p> <p><img src="http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8773/sshot1g.png" /> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-stupid-me-problem#post-98923 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 04:11:38 +0000 bobtheguardian 98923@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>no no no sorry if I wasnt clear enough.
