This is driving me to drinking "heavily"!
First, I have a digital clock where I can right click to change the display settings. I changed the HH to hh so that the display is for 12-hour and not 24-hr. Then I add the 'tt" to the end to display the AM / PM. Problem is, I cannot make the display changes permanent. If I load a different desktop and then later come back to the desktop with the digital clock, then the clock reverts back to it's original settings...
Secondly, I'm running into a similar situation with menus. For example, I love the latest Aero-XP theme. The author has a built-in Tools menu. I'm finding it very simple to change the items on the Tools menu so that it displays and starts "my" programs. Changing "safeclean" to Ad-Aware and changing the target are very straightforward. I've just spent a few hours changing the target settings on several of the built-in menus, and saved the desktop. Then found another theme I wanted to try. Later, loaded Aero again, only to find that the authors original menus had taken over. All the time I spent customizing was for nothing. This is maddening...
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong and there must be a way to make the customizations "stick". Can someone please enlighten me? Please?
