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.

dudes, Matonga no longer looks at rocketdock forums, just go to http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/news.php nd complain or give ideas there
Please, please, please. Can all you be less lazy and read the comments? This 'great problems' (like this one) have been answered already. The docklet works perfect under XP and under Vista, if you can get it to work it's because of your idleness to read.
By the way, the docklet does open shortcuts: just drag them from your desktop to the docklet.
Thanks Matias !! Muy bacano ! but I have a problem: when I do restart on my vista computer, the stack icons loose the icon and folder path information... If you know how to fix, please let me know, thanks !
Add a wonderful and beautiful
Thank you
Hey this is great, it really completes Rocketdock. I've just discovered docks and being playing around with them all day.
A few suggestions from what I've seen:
1. I found it odd on Objectdock that you can't drag a file into a folder on the dock, Rocketdock does allow you to but it *copies* not *moves* it which is annoying (no amount of ctrl, or alt combinations changes the function) as you then have to keep deleting the previous file, so it's great that Stacks lets you drop files in to a folder and actually moves them instead of copying. - One thing though the icon is still a plus sign indicating copying, you should change this to the normal drag drop symbol AND also add in the Ctrl+ for copy for an intuitive full environment.
--Actually I can't work out why this isn't standard behaviour for all docks, but as it stands most of my icons will be stacks docklets.
2. It would be really great if once opened in grid or line format, you could add the ability to drag the files around and add the normal right click functionality to every folder and file inside, this would be top wish, is this possible?
3. 3rd I'd like to be able to change the icon name with out having to change the folder name that it links too.
4. I found the way Rocketdock does icon changes to be way better than Objectdock. However both suffer from broken links to the icons if the icons are moved, is there a way to do an auto update to find the icon again like xp desktop does?
5. And oh yes, the ability to drag files&folders *into* a folder in the grid array. It's great the grid stays up when you move the mouse off but other wise the grids just for reading and opening as you can't do anything else with it.
I think that might make my desktop experience complete, or near so :)
To zapper:
Remeber, all I did was aware of this, all this work is Matonga's
@mav1094: many thanks, the new version is a whole different ball game, works great!
hey, if u haven't noticed yhis is the old version the updated version solves all these problems, the new version is here http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=46859&highlight=stacks [check the first page for the download, the newest pages discuss about the updates]
@amishsniper: Not sure if you were referring to my post when you said "people are unable to read the instructions" but I'd love to see instructions that specified how to solve the problem I've posted (dead .lnk files under stacks in winXP). Do you see such instructions here? If so feel free to point them out.
Very nice addition to a great program.
I'm sorry that so many people are unable to read the instructions to get it to work for them (maybe others could volunteer to translate instructions for other languages?!).
I hope that this is something that you continue to develop. Thanks.
Nossa mtu lindo mesmo gostei muito desse aplicativo..
xp sp2: installed the dock (not on c:), added the stacks docklet, looks great, BUT getting the same clicky-no-worky probs that several others here have had. i haven't seen any answers so ... here goes, hoping someonez can help me out:
- add new stacks icon to the dock
- in new icon's properties i set the file to be my desktop (just for this example) by using C:\Documents and Settings\me\Desktop
- click on the stack icon and the grid pops up, so far so good
- if i click on a folder in the grid (obviously one from the desktop) then it opens no probs
- if i click on any other icon from the destop (an app for instance) NOTHING HAPPENS
- tried enabling permissions via the Security tab as suggested for the Vista peeps but still no joy
- tried creating a new folder from scratch, under the dock installation folder, add a shortcut from the desktop ... still no joy: click away, nada happening!
- so ...basically dead in the water. without stacks the dock is sure pretty but it ain't much use to me ... HELP!
gracias Wulfeman :)
Works great! The grid mode is a lot more useful than the fanout,:P
<3 this one.
