Smart Startup

Smart Startup doesn't engage during windows startup

Published on June 28, 2007 By Rvanbel In Stardock Support General

During my windows startup my stardock smart startup doesn't engage and display a window. I noticed this because on my laptop it does display the smart startup on windows startup. Before I installed the new object desktop I just had window blinds, cursor xp, boot skin and logon and I thought that because I had them installed first before object desktop it has something to do with it. How can I make the smart startup engage? If I have to re-install object desktop and make some changes to make it work, how can I save all my skins and add them to the re-install?

Rvanbel use Stardock Central to archive each of your Stardock products, also select to save skins. I would also copy all of your skins alone to a cd or external drive. See link below for tutorial on Archiving with Stardock Central...note the page loads slowly because of the # of images

I am not sure about the smart startup, if there is a way to do it without reinstalling, someone else may come along who can answer that.

But archive all of your programs & skins regardless

Ok, thanks. Actually just archived everything last night.

you talking about the splash screen?

been a long time since I've seen it, but I seem to recall an option to disable the splash screen when it loads up - disabling the splash didn't keep the smart startup from happening, so... I haven't worried about it.

Basicly I have the screen pop up on my laptop, but on my tower it doesn't. I was curious to see what I can do about adding it.

I never found a 'I changed my mind, show me splash' option
