If you use Stardock Object Desktop leave this alone. It has a great deal of options and is very flexable. With Stardock it's redundent.

Nice prog, does what it claims very well, just would wish that the RSS feature came as an optional component in the setup, I don't like to much RSS, instead I would prefer some hardware monitors.

Tried this before and seems bloatware and pretty much a waste of time unless u really need it. I use pstart portable for the most part. Nice looking anyways

I give it a five, is an accessory I have looked for. I use it and Rocketdock. A strange thing though.......on my second machine all the containers I had loaded dissappeared upon startup one day.
