Dorko Demo: MindManager Active Desktop
This is my first Dorko Demo! It's technically not my first video or my first experience with Camtasia Studio but since I have a lot more videos in store, and not all of them will feature MindManager, I figured it would be appropriate to add a nice little nickname to all screencasts I create with Camtasia. They will feature a broad assortment of software demos, tips and tricks and whatever else I decide to come up with. I am thinking about even making a single page for all my Dorko Demos so that you can get to them all very easily.This first Dorko Demo was inspired by the several emails I received regarding my MindManager SE video that kicked off that excellent Note Talkers/MindManager Contest. (I hope your working on entries!) In the video I demonstrated my ability to incorporate a MindManager Map onto my Active Desktop. This allowed an actual MindManager map to sit there and interact with me without even opening the program! I though it was very creative idea and many of you did as well!
What I did not show is how I actually went about creating the MindManager map and the whole procedure of getting it on the desktop so you can interact with it. When you saw the video you saw it already there and witnessed me clicking away and sharing its features. The easiest way then to address those emails was to create a video demonstrating the actual process so that everyone can allow MindManager to take over the desktop!
So here is my first Dorko Demo demonstrating how to create a MindManager Active Desktop

Notes:
I didn't notice this part when making the video but when you view the source from the web it adds this little section. Your number is probably different but you don't need it and can delete it if you want.
Also some of the and letters that you need to replace may be hard to read with the low quality of the video (trying to keep the size down) so I took some screen clippings of those sections so you can see them better!
Replace this part with the name of your map. Remember to keep the Quotes
Replace this part with the file name path of where your map is saved on your computer. The default location that MindManager saves maps is a folder called "My Maps" under "My Documents" but you may have set a different location.
Again if you have questions or have problems please leave a comment or email me and I'll do my best to help you out!
Good Luck and Have Fun!
