Help thanks to bezisdabest:

Stacks gone after restart? Here's the solution folks:

Log in as admin to have the administrative rights.

1. Navigate to the RocketDock folder under program files...C/Program Files/RocketDock.

2. Right click on the RocketDock folder, and select properties, click the security tab at the top.

3. You should see a list of groups and user names of your pc, click edit...

4. Click on your user name..should be called "Users(your name)"

5. Check the box underneath to give yourself "Full Control", click Ok, Ok..

6. Done, your user account now has full permission to this folder...try it close the application or restart and you settings should be saved.

Can you fix it to allow the use of the context menu while the contents of selected folder are shown? (ei. "open with", "send to", etc?)

ok guys this is the solution:

1.- after downloading two files called: "StackDocklet.dll" and a folder "images"

2.- go to C:\programs files\RocketDock\Docklets

3.- in this folder called "docklets" create another and new folder with the same name of the "StackDocklet" but without ".dll"

4.- in the new folder called "StackDocklet" put the two files that you downloaded ("StackDocklet.dll" and a folder "images")

5.- then close the rocketdock and open it again

6.- Righ click on dock and choose "Add Item" and then you`ll see "Stack Docklet", click on it and there you are... enjoy it

bye bye

I like it. It works well on my PC running Vista. Keeps the custom Folder Icons, too. Wish I could configure the color of the font in the second level, though.

A RocketDock must-have. You'd be missing a lot without this.

Dear Evolantra,
Thanks for your advice about registry of Shortcut.
Previouslly,I suffered no-action by clicking shortcut icons in this docklets(Stacks) under Windows Vista. But problem is clearly solved by your adv.

's Avatarteacherdan (July 15, 2008):

Awesome docklet! works perfectly!

's Avatardllklud (July 14, 2008):

when i restart my computer it goes to default
Can someone help me with this problem? thanks

's AvatarEvolantra (July 11, 2008):

Not being able to open Shortcuts is due to removing "Shortcut to.." text on shortcuts. A fix is to add empty entries in the registry. This will not bring back the "Shortcut to..." icon or text, so no worries on that annoyance.

Be very careful when doing this as modifying the wrong registry entry or deleting entries can cause serious computer issues.

Open/run regedit and add the following registry items:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\

Add multi-string Value:
IsShortCut

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile\

Add multi-string Value:
IsShortCut

I hope this works for everyone experiencing the problem. It works great on all my machines.
