You cannot.

Don't even try.

Abandon all hope: Resistance is futile.

All your base are belong to us.

 

ps... is that DX or DX Pro? Which version? In my simple DX, I don't see it.... but if you right click on it, in it's properties you might find the option you want?

It looks like you are in builder mode.  Why?

Boxxi,

No idea on that, HOWEVER... Is that a new theme you are working on? I must say, I LIKE IT!

Reminds me of the good ol days and I love the originality of it. Look forward to its release ( if that is intended ).

I always run in builder mode, it's needed to configure things. Client Mode is for noobs.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Object Desktop\DesktopX and find DesktopX Helper.exe and rename it to Desktopx Helper.exe.bak

Agreed.

 

 

 

Boxxi, I just delete it. But you could add the .bak to the end of it. It won't run anymore.

It's all good, BoXXi.

BTW, This rename works for most of those pesky auto-updaters that have no easy way to disable them. Just find the updater exe, and you know the rest.

Did y'all ever try the Toggle Object Palette in the DXBuilder r-click menu? That always works for me.

Careful now... i'd sure hate to see you wearing one of those as earmuffs in a picture.

( although THAT would be less disturbing than that "just rolled out of bed" pic you posted. I haven't been able to sleep through the night without screaming and crying since I saw it... )

Yeah, but once you open it, it opens automatically from then on. Every time you load DX.

Just tried it. Toggle = open. Toggle again = close for good.

Hmmm...you cheat!

lol...I wonder why I get what Boxxi gets. It always runs with DX once I open it.  Do you close it with it's X, or do you toggle it at the system tray?

I never use the X. That's what keeps it coming back. I use the toggle.
