Desktop Icons

June 25, 2013 2:23:23 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I have the latest (registered) version 2.10 installed. I have set Firefox to save and download directly to desktop.When I download something it does not show on desktop screen. I have to open My Computer>Desktop to access my downloads. Also, if I create a shortcut the same condition applies. This was not happening in the past versions of Objectdock. Do I need to change something in settings?

PS. I use Win8 pro x64.

Definitely I have not installed any fences. What other program could be hiding icons?

Along with the obvious setting in the OS desktop context menu (view) Winstep and WFX will both hide/show desktop icons. Are you using either of those programs?

ObjectDock does not interact with teh desktop icons in any way.  Time to look somewhere else.

Sometimes, the obvious things are the easiest to overlook.  I'm glad you got it sorted out.
