(file manager) If you just remove the directory the explorer shell _should_ start up next time you login... (at least I think so...  ) BB - -email- Lead developer (SharpBar, SharpDesk, SharpTheme, Skin System,) | ||

| Registered Member #1999 Joined: Sat May 24 2008, 01:46PMPosts: 2 | well, its not possible to even access the task manager - no matter what i do, nothing will get executed and no windows will open (i tried control panel, i tried to run commands, i tried the start menu, i tried the 'my computer', etc. - i basically tried everything)...  weird. my windows is installed in the default dir btw, so %windir% is C:\windows. some people reported multi-monitor problems, i saw, but still... can that be the cause if it works fine in safe mode? not sure, as the graphics are in a 'compatibility mode', too, when entering safe mode... i think some process i am running in normal mode is keeping some part of the SharpE shell to start up properly - as i said, i am missing the system tray and other stuff as well when in normal mode... | ||

| Registered Member #1 Joined: Mon Dec 13 2004, 01:12AMPosts: 853 | That's very strange. The Task Manager should always work. Well what you can try to do is start to set the shell back to explorer. Login in normal mode and then try to start SharpE components one by one. (not the whole shell by logging out). First try to start SharpDesk and see if everything is fine. Then try to start SharpShellService.exe. Then try SharpCore.exe... If it acts up after starting core then go into SharpCenter (before starting it ) and disable most of the services (try to find the one which is causing it).This is a really crazy bug, I can't explain at all why SharpE would do it [Edit] something really easy and helpfull you could do is just try out another shell! Like emerge (http:// www.emergedesktop.org/). This would make it a lot easier to narrow the problem down to shell or software problem [ Edited Sat May 24 2008, 05:07PM ] BB - -email- Lead developer (SharpBar, SharpDesk, SharpTheme, Skin System,) | ||

hypn Registered Member #1981 Joined: Thu May 08 2008, 01:38PMPosts: 11 | You guys are doing an awesome job, and SharpE rocks, so I'm sorry to post this - I know you guys already have enough ideas, suggestions, and bugs to take care of - but here goes: Suggestions: 1) Add a default "Win+E" (open Explorer) hotkey (command "explorer /e,d:\" top default to d: - not sure how to default to "My Computer") 2) Add a default "Win+D" (show desktop) hotkey (same as "Minimize all windows" - not sure how to manually create this hotkey?) 3) Add a default "Win+Pause" (Device Manager) hotkey (command "sysdm.cpl") 4) Allow users to remove "Minimize All Windows" and "Restore All Windows" (some of us REAL minimalists) :P Bugs: 1) Mini Scmd doesn't always give focus to "cmd.exe" when run 2) Menus that contain "special" folder paths don't show icons but work fine when clicked etc (eg: "{#StartMenuDir#} \Programs") 3) Right clicking on "My Network Places" and selecting "Properties" (in Explorer's folder list) displays an error "Windows cannot find '(null)'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." 4) Although the mouse pointer is prevented from moving over TopBar when dragging a window (preventing you from putting anything on top of it, I presume), you can still get some of the window of TopBar by using the bottom part of the title bar to drag (I'm using Windows's "Classic" theme) 5) Selecting "Configuration", and then "Services" from the SharpE menu doesn't work - debug output says: 08:01:33 26/05/08 : Exec Service: Original: !ToggleServiceManager 08: 01:33 26/05/08 : Exec Service: Passed Execution Text: !ToggleServiceManager 08: 01:33 26/05/08 : Exec Service: Attempting to execute with Create Process 08:01:33 26/05/08 : Exec Service: Unable to execute using CreateProcess. Continue with execution. 08:01:33 26/05/08 : Exec Service: ExecuteType: Last ShellOpenFile: 08:01:33 26/05/08 : Exec Service: FileName: !ToggleServiceManager 08: 01:33 26/05/08 : Exec Service: Params: 08:01:33 26/05/08 : Exec Service: dir: 08:01:33 26/05/08 : Exec Service: The specified file was not found. 6) When deleting a hotkey, the confirmation message box's title, and "cancel" button, are not in english: ---------------- ----------- Bestätigen -- ------------------------- Are you sure you want to delete: HOTKEY_NAME? ------------ --------------- OK Abbrechen ------------------------ --- 6) Right clicking on a folder, in Explorer, and selecting "Search" doesn't work (does the same as bug 3, above) [ Edited Sun May 25 2008, 11:41PM ] http://www.hypn.za.net | ||
