yeah i stumbled across that... didn't like the feature-set that much 
it runs its own 'Run' box and not the windows one...which i guess isn't so bad...but I didn't need all that other stuff.
I figured out one solution by creating a VB-Script:
FileRun.vbs
Code: vbscript
- dim objShell
- set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
- objShell.FileRun
- set objShell = nothing
Put that file in "My Documents\Stardock\ObjectDock Library\Commands" (added that Commands directory) and created a shortcut to it...seems to work pretty good.
Only bothers me now that the silly windows run dialog box only pops up in the lower-right corner...and it so happens that my dock ends up laying over it...maybe someone knows if you can change the position of that "Run..." dialog???
I was even considering doing my own docklet...found some code to do it to...
Code: c++
- IShellDispatch* pShellDisp = NULL;
- HRESULT hr = ::CoCreateInstance( CLSID_Shell, NULL, CLSCTX_SERVER, IID_IShellDispatch, (LPVOID *) &pShellDisp );
- if( hr == S_OK )
- {
- pShellDisp->FileRun();
- pShellDisp->Release();
- pShellDisp = NULL;
- }
- return ( hr == S_OK );
...got my docklets SDK, got the samples to compile, was all ready to implement this and oops figured out Visual C++ 2008 express doesn't include MFC (ie. afxwin.h)
... maybe someone wants to whip me up a docklet??? 
Thanks, - Jeff
