[solved] autohide issue

just signed up for this

i am using objectdock 2 free for weeks. but every time i click on autohide, this setting is not saving. on next reboot the dock is always visible

today i set on autohide too, but this time i directly quit over "settings-quit"

couriously this time the autohide option was saved

is it a bug?

The settings should save on exit. When you used Settings -> Unload Objectdock, it didn't save, but when you right-clicked on the dock and selected 'Quit' it did work? Odd.. Please let me know if this continues.

yes, yesterday i shut down my pc and today no autohide again

i looked into settings and it was "on top". then again i changed it to autohide and directly quit. 3 times reboot and always autohide.

next time it happened i tell you again

Sounds like it might be a permissions issue. Can you please follow this link in Internet Explorer:

save the file, right click it and select "Run as Administrator" if you're on Vista/Windows 7, just run it if you're on XP. This may solve your issue.

Sorry, I didn't realize you had a non-English language set. Please try the following:

If you still have problems, I'd say it's time to write to [email protected]. Please make sure that you include the original issue, as well as a link to this forum post.

hi dewie,

 

i noticed, that when i normal reboot the autohide setting was saved

but every morning my pc starts a task after reboot where a vbs-script is running. the last line in script is

Set objshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "%comspec% /c ""%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 5"""

where my pc shuts down - > then no autohide

but if i kill the task manually before end of script with

WshShell.Run "TASKKILL /F /IM ObjectDock.exe"

on next reboot objectdock works with autohide fine 

 

thx it is solved (i hope) :grin:
