werewolf, that is the same way i am doing this, and i dont get all the stardock stuff in there.

time to visit control pannel feline *mannic giggles*

go to control pannel
select "system"
go to the "advanced" tab
check out the "environment variables" button

on my machine there is no "path" listed in the "user variables" window.

and the basic 3 section path i have listed above is in the "system variables" option.

my first theory is that your more complex path has been set up in here.

do you need all the stardock programs in your path?

can you live without them for the duration of the experiments?

the only one i can see off hand you needing in your path is OE, and only then if you are launching it from the command prompt.

i dont have any stardock programs in my path, and they all seem to function fine

Feline: I have been where you have gone I have only one path statement in user variables apparently only for OE. I have 2 path statements under system variables which are system dedicated.

I can certainly live without the SD path statement and have deleted same. I then changed to liquidaqua and the quicklaunch menus are still dead.

As you suspected, OE is still launching when I dbl click a .txt file so the path statement is not needed.

i am about to go home for the day, so i will be a few hours before i return.

however, in the mean time:

a) changes to the system environment paths can require a reboot to take effect

find the dir your quick launch dir is stored in, and see if it is still there.

*translation*
close ObjectBar
right click on the system taskbar, and go to toolbars. make sure quick launch is turned on.
resize quick launch so that you can click on a clear part.
select "open folder"
you now know which folder it is

of course if this doesnt work then we have a possible solution, along with a new problem *sigh*

is yours in the same sort of place as mine?

mine is:
C:\Documents and Settings\feline\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

feline-"feline runs off to get a dictionary to work out what fuzzy is on about"

If I remember correctly, Amator = lover

Interesting twist to the thread, don't you think?


I was wondering- what degrees do you guys have? I only have an associates degree (2 years), but I just enrolled in a University to complete a Bachelors degree.

heeeeerrrrrr other kitty, other kitty, other kitty

feline: feline thinks it is time to jump up and down on fuzzy until he explains what he means...

An 'amator' is one who incites sexual desire in others...I'm sure that's what you really meant and are just being coy

Full marks to KarmaGirl for getting close without using a dictionary

...mine's English Language and linguistics. Hence my flawless sentence structure but lousy spelling...

Do the one which will get you the biggest salary. Well, you have to look after your own interests.

Regrettably my qualifications don't relate to either my accounting or IT professions and that is why I live on a miserable pittance

starone the pussy cat - Gee, when I left the party started again. I'm getting a complex. I brave this thread and again no one is here. Well Doreen if you pop in again, hi. And, Feline, well thanks for the invitation (are you deliberately tormenting me just because I wanted your nick?) Oh well, think I'll go hide in a corner somewhere until coaxed out.

feline *sigh*
feline thinks starone the cat needs to be coaxed a bit more

remember the object bar thread? you never seemed to feel that you were being neglected in there, and this thread is more active that that one was.

it is just that all us furry creatures work on a slightly different time system to the rest of the site. comes of all these portals we keep playing with.

you know furry creatues, insatiable curiosity

anyway, if i was trying to torment you i would do it in a nice way. i mean, just look at what happened to fuzzy logic and werewolf. however, if you are interested in seeing what being tormened feels like then i am sure we can be talked into holding you down and seeing how ticklish you are

feline wonders what the best way of working chocolate into this experiment is

javaBrain, any chance that you can make an appeal to T-Man for at least one crayon for us?

the above posting would flow a lot better if i could colour code myself more clearly you know.

Fuzzy Logic - ...mine's English Language and linguistics. Hence my flawless sentence structure but lousy spelling...

AHHA!
now i know why my spelling is so creative!
it comes from having 5 GCSE's (exams at 16 years old) in english!

werewolf - BS in Computer Science, minor in MIS

feline *engages curious mode*
what is MIS?

Missing In Space occured, but seemed a little unlikely
