Objectdock is just that . . a dock.  It is a app launcher (with some docklet support).

ObjectBar is a super-powerful tool.

I use both.

fire up OB and see what it does.  Load a few of the packaged themes.  Make your own bar. (directions here: http://www.stardock.com/products/objectbar/docs/Creating_OB.asp)

Grab the free version of Objectdock . . give it a try too.  The Plus version is even better.

Okay so here's my deal with the ObjectBar 2.

I downloaded it because I want something to cut the shortcuts off my desktop. I thought maybe I could get an awesome sidebar action thing goin on, but as it turns out, I dont think I can or mayber I did it wrong. Is ObjectBar what I need or is there something else out there for me to look at??

Thanks,

Will
