Hi,

After installing Keyboard LP and setting it to startup on bootup, I noticed two things.

1. The Keyboard LP Settings always pops up.

2. The ObjectDock 2 settings pops up as well

Having the close these two pops windows is getting annoying.

I found the problem they are loading twice on startup. I looked in the starup folders for user and all users, there is only one instance of each.

loading msconfig show two listings of them, but disabling one of these does not work.

 

There must be some other place thats loading them, but I just dont know where.

 

 

Cheers

Run MSconfig and see if there are two entries in the startup tab.  Turn one off.

I found the problem, when I organised my start menu I moved the startup folder from user to all users. This made other programs other than Object Dessktop ones to have two load instances as well.

I'm always amazed at how many places Windows has for putting your startup items.  They all have a reason for existing, but it's still amazing how complex it all is.
