    Hi all,

    I have a quick question: How do I add a task manager icon to my objectdock? Is that even possible? Any help would be appreciated.

    Sure...

    Start menu > type "taskmgr" > drag "taskmgr.exe" shortcut to the desktop > drag it to the dock

    On mine I have my dock shortcut open task manager in admin mode, bypassing the UAC prompt... but that's a little trickier to set up. ;)

    It'd be pretty sweet if it actually worked when the system's bogged down.

    Thanks, Swarmer.

    Are you talking about Objectdock or task manager?
