    right for some annoying reason when ever i use the stacks docklet to open the Control Panel i only get 5 items:

    Quick Time
    Adobe Gamma
    Java
    Mail
    text to speech

    so i spent so many hours getting shortcuts of each item from the Control Panel and put them into there own folder and i use that folder which works fine BUT some of the icons dont show when i open it but i have no idea of how i can fix this, its 15icons that dont show up - all i see is white squares.

    i have put them into Object Dock and Rocket Dock and they are the same. i now have them in RK Launcher and i want to keep it in RK but its the same. anyone know how i can fix this?

    Works for me in RocketDock. I used the drop-down, Special Folder rather than FileSystem Folder, and selected Control Panel.

    When you select Special Folder you do not get more options when you click on the empty box below?

    The image I posted previously showing the Special Folders and additional choices is from my PC running only RocketDock. I do not know why it does not show up on your PC unless it is a conflict with having multiple dock software installed or an installation problem.

    i doupt its becuase of multiple docks - i think it has soemthing to do with going from vista 32 to 64bit as it worked fine before on OD

    I am running Vista (32-bit), so the hypothesis regarding 64-bit as the difference is probably a good one.

    which is a shame as the start menu doesnt work with 64bit either, trying to figure work around in order to remove the start menu - looking at using Circle dock as well - as the start menu works in that
