DX Question re: DX menu

from WinCustomize Forums
~ Is there any way to not get duplicate entries in the right-click menu of DX? I guess what I mean is...when the desktop is right-clicked and the menu opens, when I go into the programs menu there are duplicate entries for EVERYTHING. Is there any way to make this NOT happen?

~ Thanks in advance for any solution or advice.

What version of DX are you using?

~ Most recent and updated of 2.1. It's been a problem ever since I've used DX though...about 3 years.

~ It only seems to happen in the 'programs' menu.

Well...I think if I had to guess..it's Hover Desk and DX both throwing up their own right click 'Programs' list (or they're both mimicking the Start Menu). It could also be a 'Tweak' proggie (if you have one installed) doing it......

you probably have programs listed in both your start menu/programs folder and the allusers /start menu/programs folder. Since it most likely uses these as a basis for your programs in the list it looks at both and adds all of both. if you have 2 entrances of a program (1 in 1 folder and 1 in the other folder) delete one of the instances and it should go away.

~ If I delete everything in one folder altogether is that going to affect the program list in the actual start panel?

very likely, you need to sort through them.
the all user programs are ones that display for everybody, the ones in your user folder only display for you. You probably have programs that are only yours, and there are most likely lots of programs in the allusers that aren't in yours. In the normal start menu these two folders are sorted, but I don't think desktopx has this ability to sort them.
