    I came across stacks docklet and its very cool. I made a few "stacks" but when i reboot it doesnt save the settings. i read that u have to create a "settings.ini" file. how do you do that?
    also, i want to have a "stack" for my apps, to make my dock smaller so i made a folder and pasted shortcuts in there, but some of the apps needed other things to open.

    help would be appreciated :)

    EDIT: Using rocketdock with vista

    All I done was to copy the stacked docklet folder into rocketdocks 'docklet' folder then I had the option to create stacked docklets from rocketdocks menu.

    What I've done just so I know where they are is to create a folder put the shortcuts inside then put that new folder inside the stacked docklets folder.

    What do you mean needed other things to open?

    yes i kno how to add stack docklets. and i just found out how to save the settings on reboot. u have to have "store settings in a portable ini" checked in settings.

    now i want to open applications with stack docklets so i dont have 1 icon on my dock for each app. i can have 5 or so "stacked." for example: folder called "Tools" i would have ccleaner revouninstaller,defrag, etc. in there.but i just simply cant copy the shortcut into a folder, because some of those apps need other files for it to open.
