thanks!

I'm wondering too.  I didn't think there where any hotkeys for WB. 

I have no idea on what it could be.  I'll pass on what your said. See what happens.

Do other Object Desktop apps have hot keys?

Yes.  Explorer/shell addons need to interface with your input exactly the same way as the original shell from Microsoft does.  Adding more access options such as Docks etc means there will be more key options assigned to the interface.

Got some more details:

Agreed.
What is ir_setup.exe?     Can I just remove that? They will probably tell m I can't upgrade any more if allowed to keep WB.

This all got triggered when I upgraded WB. Which BTW, fixed a lot of issues I had.

thanks

Bottom line... Yeah, I know.. IT has gone nuts since our company got hacked a few years back. But  I've got 6-9 months left before i retire so figure try to hang on to some level of sanity with Windows during that time.  

Maybe if I'm able to uninstall ir_setup from the link instructions and leave WB that would be enough.  Doesn't hurt to try.

All those warnings in the link.  And Stardock uses ir_setup?

Thanks

I meant does Stardock use irsetup.exe as part of the install process? 

I tried searching irsetup.exe in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock" but I can't find it. Perhaps irsetup.exe was use only while installing Stardock programs. Since if you do a general search in Stardock Forum. There were a number of issues raise base on irsetup.exe which usually dealing while installing a Stardock product.

Perhaps irsetup.exe no longer needed after installation are done.

Thank you,

Looks like irsetup didn't get removed during the install. 

for reference:

I could not do the upgrade via Object Desktop. It said my version was up to date so I had to uninstall, download the latest and reinstall.

Maybe something went wrong there...  It had been a long time since I had upraded WB and we moved to Windows 11 during that time. 

I told IT that irsetup isn't part of WB functionality and was left behind from failure in the installation. I also told them that I had removed the file from the machine.

Probably won't be enough but worth a try.  IT drones don't really think much for themselves and have no real incentive to help out a customer.

Wish me luck and thanks for all the help!

No apology necessary. You did help a lot.
I sent them a replay saying I removed the offending  irsetup.exe file and it should have been deleted during the install process but something went wrong.

So far, no reply... And I'm not going to ask if that was enough. 

Figure two weeks, if nothing then I guess I get to keep WB.
