RocketDock by PunkSoftware
Have you ever wished you could clean up you desktop of all the clutter that seems to accumulate? Sure, you can try to cram all your important shortcuts into the Windows Quick Launch area, or try some fancy tricks to place them on a custom toolbar you manage to squeeze onto the task bar. These are hard to keep in any sort of custom order, and the bottom line, are a pain to maintain. Not any more. Take a look at RocketDock by PunkSoftware.
For those who are not Mac literate, you may ask, “What’s a dock anyway?” Well, a dock, simply put, is an area of the screen that is setup to contain icons that represent shortcuts to programs, files folders, almost anything. RocketDock is powerful, easy to setup and use, and is very pen friendly. Think of it as a Quick Launch on steroids. They have an active forum community with lots of icon library’s and “Docklets” available for download.
The only problem I found with RocketDock is with the name, that is I bet you can’t say that three times without getting tongue tied! Especially when you are recording an Inkshow. :)
