A couple questions

Fly-Out menus and System Tray

I was wondering about the Fly-Out menu. I like what it is, but it kind of gets annoying having to scroll through like 20 playlists all the time to find one. I was wondering if there was a way to make it like the Start Menu, just a list? Because that would be 10x easier.

Second question is about the System Tray, how come when i have a system tray menu, it doesn't have anything shown in there...and i have like 5 or 6 things in my system tray......it should show at least one? What's wrong with it?

If the fly-out contains more than 80 items, it will display as a menu.

I do not know of a way to change the 80 items to another value, but I have not really looked into it, so perhaps someone else will drop by with a solution.

You could also create a shortcut to a folder > right-click the dock entry > select the "Show folder in a menu" option.

For the System Tray tabbed dock, you need to enable the "MCP notifcation area support" by starting Stardock Central > Tools menu > Settings > select Enable MCP notification area support > click OK > reboot computer to load into dock.

Note - if for some reason you do not have Stardock Central, you simply need to have the "sdmcp.exe" file running to provide the support needed. An easy fix is to do a search for the file, and then create a shortcut to it in your "Startup" folder.

I hope this helps.

Yes you can. I think it's under the "Advanced options"

The setting is "Show flyout menus as normal when they contain over 80 entries". It's a yes or no thing, you can't change the value. If you uncheck it, folders with more than 80 items will still function as Flyouts. I tried this once, and all I managed to do was lock up the computer....

What's wrong with Corky's suggestion above?

Did you enable the SDMCP options in SDC? Tray won't work without them.
