So I've been using Object Desktop for years along with several other products from StarDock and I am still very happy to be a returning customer.

The last couple times I've needed to reinstall the software (new computer or windows reinstall, etc) - I noticed that a couple applications I had grown used to having were no longer in the install.

I've now looked through pretty much all of the Stardock Central list of downloadables, the WinCustomize Wiki, and searched the forums here, but haven't found anything that indicated what happened to them and if they are still being used in development.

I know that three of them were called:

Object Zip (the one I'm trying to find currently)
Object Edit
Object Scheduler

It's possible they were phased out due to DesktopX supporting a myriad of desktop widgets - but I'm having trouble finding if that is the case or if they simply were integrated into a different application under new names.

Does anyone remember these apps with these specific names and what became of them?

Thank you kindly, in advance~

Hi chikusho,

I just fired up Stardock Central and I see Object Edit (version 1.69a[rc].002) there. As far as Object Zip goes, I kind of recall that it was considered a little bit redundant as Windows now has much better native support for zip files in explorer than it used to have.

Object Scheduler? I don't remember that one. I guess that I never needed it.

one reason I find archiving the apps useful

which one's are going out, which ones are integrated somehow... I don't know...

I still have ObjectZip and ObjectEdit listed in SDC - not Scheduler though

you might try an email to support - it's how I got WebBlinds back so I could use throbbers on those skins that didn't have them = until IE7 took over

tried searching Odzip.dll and got:

try #4

or try reinstalling SDC over itself

Wasn't Object Scheduler part of the OS/2 ODNT?
I don't remember it as part of the Windows ODNT
