thanks for the input. it was already noted above that stylexp caused sme y'z dock crashes, but most people here use the uxtheme patch anyway.

i've never heard of candyxp, though. most people use iconphile or iconpackager, or reshack system files.

and welcome to neowin. :)

hi...

FusionGuy - I had the same problem! and when I changed the file itemlist.ini = 1 =>0 and renamed the name of the icon in it - Works perfectly. Bsw. AqaDock rocks too.

Greetz too all. This is probably my first Post here so regards too all my friends from A-S and from my Forum in Poland. PEACE People!

from aqua-soft, eh?

yeah, aqua-dock is a rip. ever wonder why you need "y'z docklet.dll"?

I did a google search and found a utility called CandyXP that allows you to customize your icons. In the changelog it said 'fixed bug that caused yzdock to crash.'

i think you'll find that that was referring to a bug that candyXP once had, not a mirraculous fix for someone elses problem.

also, i have used yzdock for a long time. i've been using it for a couple of years infact and after finding out that it ran as a service (didn't know for ages) and therefor took away a little memory, i decided to get the uxtheme.dll patch. a while after i tried to change some icons and i started to get this exact error. i've just read this thread and this has brought that into my attention so i'm gonna unpatch the uxtheme.dll and reinstall stylesxp and see how it goes... i'll post back soon.

Its fine to talk about it, just no download links are allowed.

I have never had any problems with Yz Dock, I am also using SP2 and have my system themed with the Uxtheme hack.

there was some doubt earlier, so just to reiterate: the CandyXP trick works for me too.

I had StyleXP installed then uninstalled and switched to uxtheme. After that, yzdock would always crash when I tried to change the icon under "Property of Dock Item..." Anyway iJeff's CandyXP thing worked for me.

As far as the whole recycle bin thing, isn't it just opening the recycle folder to get a count of the items / total size? Seems to me like that's the whole point of having it.

    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575

      Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

      I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
