Guide: Mac-like dock for your XP/Vista

Yes, I like the Mac GUI and it's functions/look, and here's another tip on how to add that to your dull PC.

Rocketdock is a free piece of software that enables you to recreate that famous dock from OS-X. I've tried a few apps that offer this kind of feature: Stardock's ObjecktDock and some stuff for AveDesk/AveScripter, and so far I've been enjoying RocketDock with far less annoyances than the others

Features:

• Minimize windows to the dock
• Real-time window previews in Vista
• Running application indicators
• Simple drag-n-drop interface
• Multi-monitor support
• Supports alpha-blended PNG and ICO icons
• Icons zoom and transition smoothly
• Auto-hide and Popup on mouse over
• Positioning and layering options
• Fully customizable
• Completely Portable
• ObjectDock Docklet support
• Compatible with MobyDock, ObjectDock, RK Launcher, and Y'z
  Dock skins
• Runs great on slower computers
• Unicode compliant
• Supports many languages and can easily be translated
• A friendly user base :)
• And best of all... its FREE

As usual you can get PNG's to use for the dock at DeviantArt. Also you can use WinCustomize both for skins and icons

You can take a look at the new desktop I made for february to get a feel for how it looks. Also there's a video of RocketDock in action here.

Guide: Make your Explorer functional & hot (Win XP)

First off: The Basics
If you don't know what I mean by 'Explorer' hit your Windows-key and 'r' simultaneously and type in 'c:'
This will bring up your normal explorer window.
- "That's right mom, it's the file-manager tool."

FindeXer
If you've ever used Finder on a Mac, you've probably spent some time wishing you had those nifty shortcuts on the left column on your Windows OS as well. And if you haven't, you should have. Why? Because if you spend 10 minutes setting up your favorite folders, you have quick access between them, and it makes organizing, copying etc very efficient. Plus it looks good :)

Installation:

• Head over to Tom's Effect and download
• Unzip the files to a directory of your choice (ie. C:\Program Files\FindeXer)
• Doubleclick the register.bat file and you're set!

This is the point where you start setting it up, which should be pretty easy. If your FindeXer column isn't showing, click View->Explorer Bar->FindeXer.
Drag&Drop your folders to the column, and right click them to edit images and text. Use the options dialog to set it up to your likings.

You can get nice PNGs to use as icons in FindeXer at DeviantArt
