I have ObjectDock 3.01 installed and it seems to work fine EXCEPT I have a couple of shortcuts that won't run in the "Run as Administrator" mode while I have other shortcuts which DO run in admin mode. I just setup a new computer, fresh installs for all my apps. On my old Win11 setup (new one is also WIN11), the shortcuts for the app I'm having problems with DID run in admin mode in ObjectDock, now they do not.
1. Program is installed, nothing unusual/no warning dialog boxes
2. Shortcuts created on desktop and start menu
3. In both places, at the shortcuts, I have selected PROPERTIES > ADVANCED and then checked "Run as Administrator"
4. The shortcuts on the desktop and start menu run in admin mode. Fresh, separate shortcuts for the app run in admin mode from the desktop.
5. Drag the desktop shortcuts to ObjectDock
6. Click on the shortcut that appears in ObjecDock and the app does NOT run in administrator mode as associated with any of the original app shortcuts.
Troubleshooting so far:
-> In ObjectDock, I HAVE gone to SETTINGS > ADVANCED TWEAKS and UNchecked the "When shortcut is run..." option. Since I have selected the "Run as Admin" option in properties for both "real" shortcuts, this should have been the fix. It does not change the conditions.
-> In ObjectDock, I HAVE gone to SETTINGS > ADVANCED TWEAKS and CHECKED the "When shortcut is run..." option. A dialog box appears and says "this feature will only have an effect when indicators are being used on a given dock, and does not work on tabbed docks." I have a tabbed dock. Nonetheless, clicked, OK, then Quit ObjectDock, restarted ObjectDock, and then in SETTINGS > ADVANCED TWEAKS I UNchecked the "When shortcut is run..." option. No change.
-> Since this function is associated with a specific app, and others seem to run ok in administrator mode, I have UNinstalled that app, deleted all its settings, rebooted, and reinstalled the app fresh, including creating shortcuts during the installation AND then manually creating shortcuts from the original .exe file. That does not change the function in ObjectDock, it still won't run in administrator mode.
-> I have uninstalled and reinstalled ObjectDock BUT, since I have several tabs set and don't really want to recreate them, I copied my original folder into a backup, then copied that backup into the ObjectDock settings folder. I'm not inclined to go about recreating 8 tabs and adding a lot of shortcuts - that would be tedious and doesn't seem like the best solution.
Just a guess, but I suspect that in Settings.ini the issue is with the key "OverrideShowDesktop=1". I am hesitant to change any of the keys in the Settings.ini file, and that may be the wrong one anyway, so I am open to suggestions here (most anything except recreating 8 tabs...)
Moved to ObjectDock area
