Do you use a Windows program dock?

Hello,

I'm wondering if Windows folks use a program dock similar to what's included in OS X. I use Winstep Nexus Dock.

Nope

Never even heard of it.

 

no , but maybe i will try it if its not slow my computer

 

No, I've never felt the need for having one...

 

Keep it as simple as possible, the less the better it is (That's my analogy for my PC, since it's not a blazing fast machine, just above average)

 

Actually not. If I had, I would use the dock of Vista Inspirat Bricopacks, that is installed in my XP.

 

I used to use Rocket Dock for a few years. When I updated to a Dell desktop, it came with Dell Dock (From Stardock). I've always liked the simplicity and organization capable within these dock programs. Unfortunately, the Dell Dock is not available for non Dell PC's.

 

Is a dock like a launch pad?

I began using a launcher named Runit many years ago, on a Jacquard, & I still use it.

>>@NRProia: Nexus does look interesting. How much cpu & I/O does it use? That's what matters. What does NOT matter (well, not much) is how much RAM it uses -- but heck, tell me anyway... please.

 

Hello,

I find that Winstep Nexus Dock uses 0% to 2% of the CPU, and 6K to 12K of RAM. That's because I have three modules running on the dock. EMail Checker (I have it set to check my Comcast e-mail account via POP every minute), Net In, and Net Out. I also have the Always On Top feature disabled. So unlike the Windows Taskbar or 7 Superbar, it's unobtrusive and not always visible on the screen.

StandaloneStack for me, even though i tried all three of them in the past

 

Like Noob said - I keep it simple! I played around with ObjectDock ages ago and it just got on my nerves.

 

I don't like anything on my desktop. No icons, no taskbar, no sidebar, no nothing.

I voted none

 

+ 1!

 

Fences Pro by Stardock
ObjectDock got on my nerves too... but Fences is a perfect balance between simplicity and functionality

 

None, start menu search is far more effective.

 

Nope, I do not even use desktop or quick launch icons, I find it distrurbing, I like a clean desktop.

 

Yes and No. I have Dell dock on my dell laptop and None on my gateway Netbook,

 

None.

 

Does Stardock Fences count?

 

Dell dock with some Icons from Rocket Dock.

 

Object dock, but it's not starting with windows.

I have used the other docks mentioned in the poll, but just installed object recently.
Got rainmeter as well for extra file and component control, plus extras added to the desktop context menu for favs.

 

With Windows 7 there just seems to be no point.

 

Before Windows 7 I used rocketdock. Now I don't use any.

 

Neither on XP, nor on Seven...

 

No.
Docks are making me crazy
