Object Dock plus issue

Multiple loads on startup

from JoeUser Forums
I have just finished installing a fresh copy of windows and I was getting to the final tweaks with my objectdock and all of a sudden it starts to load twice (along with some "icon not found" errors) at windows startup. Reinstalled it twice (1.11 version), tried installing the new version and removed the stardock folder, common folder, and local settings/app/stardock folder and even regedit removed all stardock and objectdock keys before reinstalling it each time. After restarting windows I still get two instances of objectdock in my system tray. X-( Is there anyone out there who knows how to fix this?!!! Thanks

It's only running one instance. Turn off the extra icon in the Tray in Dock Settings/ Positioning/ Don't Show in Tray or Taskbar.

You need to check your program running at startup. YOu may have an extra shortcut in your startup folder, and that's loading the second instance.

Back at it again this evening trying to fix the double objectdock.
I tried the xtra icon thing Yrag, but that option is not available on my 1.11 and 1.2 versions.
I also looked at the startup folder and i only see it once.
In sys info it shows two instances of it being loaded as:
USER/User Startup
and
All Users Common Startup

I tried disabling one of the two in msconfig but they both dissapear if I do that.
Not sure where to look in the file folders or reg to change the double instance. I dont know which one i should get rid of.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanx Gary.

Dustinmol..... I would browse to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup ..... delete the shortcut there.
