not sure where it is in Vista

 

on XP I usually just: start > all programs > right click on and open startup, right click in startup and create new shortcut > browse to what I want

test:

loaded ssdddx - right clicked client icon - configure - preferences - run at start

restarted = loaded fine = no pop ups to clear 1st

 

what pop ups do you get?

the desktopx welcome? (the one that has the opens to load widgets, load object, load desktop, create)?

one that window right click anywhere on it > properties > general settings > uncheck run at start if it's checked - if it's not checked, check it - say ok, then right click on the dtx system tray icon > desktopx welcome > right click on it > properties > general setting > uncheck it > ok

the one that describes the desktop on which you click ok?

 

are you on XP or Vista? are the pop ups desktopx pop ups or vista authorization pop ups?

 

.but all the things tat i put in different class (different type files) it dissapear....it just like reload the desktopX...

are you talking about modifying the theme and/or adding stuff?  in builder mode, did you right click the system tray icon and save the desktop?

you may want to unload (no run desktopx) and clear the cache

 

http://corkyo.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?AID=82461

 

not sure where to find it if vista, but in your desktopx folder is a WidgetManager.exe - run that, click on options and you'll get buttons to view/clear the widgets cache

this should make the theme load as default

then when you modify it, save it
