Nice Little Free Windows utility
Object Dock

ObjectDock - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

Quote:
Jealous of that slick Mac interface? Check out ObjectDock, a free utility that replaces the Windows Taskbar with a colorful, animated dock similar to the taskbar in Mac OS X.

ObjectDock displays icons for currently running applications and can hold quick-launch icons for your favorite programs. As you pass the cursor over each icon, ObjectDock magnifies it and displays relevant information, helping you find what you need even when you're running several programs at once. An attractive clock rounds out the toolbar. The tiny utility comes with a dozen attractive skins, and users with slow computers can reduce the animation quality to increase speed.

There is one major drawback: the lack of a system tray. There is a free, imperfect docklet plug-in available from a third-party provider that valiantly tries to remedy the problem, although it's a bit buggy. You can also upgrade to the Plus edition for $20, which includes system tray support, tabbed docks, support for multiple docks and multiple monitors, and other features.

If you're dissatisfied with the Windows Taskbar or just want to spice up your Desktop, ObjectDock makes a very good, no-risk choice.

Have you got a shortcut called object dock? Double click it.

Re: Nice Little Free Windows utility
You can move any shortcut into it. Just copy the shortcut to desktop and drag it onto the bar.

Re: Nice Little Free Windows utility
I'm not overly impressed. If you press windows d to get to your desktop it gets hidden which pissed me off.

Re: Nice Little Free Windows utility
Bloatware. Just use the quick launch toolbar.

Re: Nice Little Free Windows utility
I prefer this. It looks better. Quick launch annoys me.

It doesn't use any significant amount of resource and is an improvement on what is available via windows, so I'd disagree its bloatware.

Porquoi? Does the same thing hammy, and uses existing windows libraries that are already in memory. Anything by stardock (in my experience) slows performance down quite a bit and loads a tonne of junk at startup.

Re: Nice Little Free Windows utility
It hasn't slowed my system, nor is there anything new in start up, bar the program itself.

I just find it more usable than quick launch. Probably the size/appearance.
