My current desktop.

You guys were talking about ObjectDock vs. RocketDock. This is why I prefer RocketDock:

Stacks docklet FTW. You can set any icon to it, and it can be set to any folder. You can also have as many stacks on the dock as you like. Alternatively, it can be set to draw certain folders in grid style, like so:

With this, you can hide your desktop icons and just point the Stacks docklet to your desktop. This makes things much neater, to me at least.

RocketDock is also faster and (usually) has less memory footprint than ObjectDock. And lets not forget the myriad of plugins and skins available for RocketDock.

somewhere; sometime?
huh.

that Rocketdock looks pretty cool.....on the other hand I never feel like it's worth the time/effort to install, figure it out and then setup a whole new layout for my sh*t when I already know where it is.

you know? it's like why bother. they look cool for sure.
does it make me a poor, lost noob if I just enjoy the "stock dock?"

like, this is what I've been doing. I've got the stuff I use most often in the quick launch and on the first pane of the Start menu.

and by now, I could confidently navigate my computer blindfolded.

on the third hand...the Rocketdock looks pretty cool :lol: :(

You should try Launchy. All the functionality of the quick launch bar or a dock but more robust and a lot quicker. I'm not a fan of moving my hands back and forth between the keyboard and mouse if I don't have to, so it works out nicely.

Also, I'd hit up DeviantArt because your Windows theme is fugly. :p
