I never knew about the !alert bang before. SO I tried that and it didn't work. So I retyped the whole line being extra careful and paying closer attetion to what I was doing. This time it works! Now the bad thing is that I have autohide turned on for the box and the execution of the bang hides the box which completely ruins the affect I was going for.

I am trying to recreate the XP start menu. I know some of you may cringe, but mine is not that big or obnoxious IMO. Plus I wanted this theme to be a good one for my wife who is migrating over to LS from explorer.

Anyways, back to the point. I have a shortcut for the file manager, browser, email, and audioplayer. When clicked the label autohides. However, when clicking on the shortcut that executes the bang !popup it also hides which is what it is supposed to do but not what I want to do in this paticular instance. I am pretty sure though that there is not going to be a way around it so I will just deal with it.
