Dashboard Button in Windows

As I have played around using mac styles on windows, I of course stepped over

Konfabulator. Now my Tiger's Dock offers a Dashboard Button to activate the Dashboard with a single click. I wanted to mimic that behaviour on Windows using Konfabulator's Konsposé settings. I finally came up with the solution to just send the F8 Function Key to activate Konspose by mouseclick.

I created a Dock Entry within ObjectDock using the logo from 47songs. That entry points now to a .wsf file (Windows Scripting File) with following content:

<package>
   <job id="vbs">
      <script language="VBScript">
         set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
         WshShell.SendKeys "{F8}"
      </script>
   </job>
</package>
