Excluding applications

January 9, 2008 6:24 AM from

Windowsblinds does not exclude my application.
I am using Windows XP with blinds build 6.0. I have excluded a program called metastock but it does not exclude, ie the program is skinned when I use it.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Might there be another EXE that's running?
Hold down teh [Ctrl] key next time you run it . . see if that prevents skinning.
Please report back.

Thanks Zubaz.
Holding down the control key did nothing, app still skinned.

how many .exe in the metastock folder?

some programs are split (like yahoo) and they all have to be excluded

There is 3 other exe files in that folder however excluding then too has made no difference. I did try an alternate skin for Metastock, other than the one I am using and it applied it so it must be working. Oh well must just be a bug somewhere.
