    Any idea why HP killed MediaSmart? I'm glad to have PowerDVD legitimately now. Beats the hell out of the HP one made by the same company anyway.

    I loved the look of the music program MediaSmart had. But it didn't allow for editing files the way most programs do. It was just pretty and otherwise useless.

    I see the Webcam program is identical. It just says CyberLink now.

    I miss the Stardock Envy theme for the icons. My "My Computer" icon was an Envy.

    Yep. Who knows.

    Give Rocketdock a shot. Great dock program and you can get more Icons on their site and also on Icon Search Engine | Iconfinder.

    I actually have Rocketdock already, but I've used it only to create a dock at the bottom of my desktop, as I did on my last computer. I pretty much make my desktop resemble a Mac's, except with my own wallpapers, two Windows gadgets and a sticky note. I will look into changing more of the theme.

    Yeah, RocketDock is great. I use it on all my notebooks.

    What would be cool is if someone would upload the icons used in the version of Mediasmart that came with the Envy before they discontinued it. Those could be added to RocketDock.

    I love RocketDock too, except I made the mistake of letting my kids use my laptop and next thing I know all my RocketDock icons are gone...

    Thanks for reminding me, gonna set it up again.
