Question about Dock And PSP7 and Coffecup

So I've had this for a few days. I love it. it's smooth and keeps things neat on my desktop.
i am however haveing trouble with two programs.... When ever i add Paint Shop Pro Seven or Coffe Cup HTML Editor I can't change anything, such as the icon or the text that appears above them, or the links won't work. At first i figured i'd just leave them be and move along, however even if i don't change anything the next time Object Dock Starts (When restarting my computer) the links don't work. I can't for the life of me figure this out, and i've been reading in this forum for what feels like hours, so i thought i'd ask.
cause other than those programs it works awsome.
I'm running Windows Xp btw.

How are you creating a new shortcut on the dock?

Right-click>Add>New Shortcut, or drag-n-drop from Start Menu>All Programs?

The traditional way of Right-click>Add>New Shortcut would be the preferred way for program executibles. Just create the new shortcut on the dock, then right-click the default "blue question mark" and select "Dock Entry Properties.." - this opens the dialog.

Use the "Browse" button under the link text line, and navigate to the executible file in "C:\Program Files" for the program shortcut you are trying to create. Use the "Title" text line to enter whatever text you want to show on mouse-over, then click "OK".

Note - if unsure of the correct program executible, you can right-click the shortcut listed in the "Start Menu>All Programs" - select "Properties", then copy and paste the address listed in "Target" text line into the "Link" text line in the "Dock Entry Properties" dialog (make sure to remove the " " symbols at the beginning and ending of the address.

Save your theme.

I hope this helps.

Your problem could be caused by your computer shutting down before OD can finish saving it's settings. It happens to a lot of folks, and the developer has plans to correct the problem in the future. If Corky's method doesn't help, try unloading OD before your shut down/reboot, and see if that helps.
