CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This free utility replaces the Windows Taskbar, finding a better way to access shortcuts. ObjectDock displays the icons of the currently running applications so you can quickly switch among them. It also holds icons that launch your favorite programs. The application magnifies the icons and displays the window title as your cursor passes over it, which helps you find what you need even when you're running numerous applications at once. An attractive clock rounds out the toolbar, rendering the standard Windows Taskbar obsolete. The tiny utility offers a dozen attractive skins. The program also features options for slow computers that degrade animation quality to save resources. The program does lack a system tray, and uninstalling it left a number of files. ObjectDock will appeal to users who are bored with the standard Taskbar.Publisher's description
From Stardock :ObjectDock acts both as a task manager and a program launcher. Users can customize the look of each item on the dock and set various animation options for when the mouse rolls over an item on the dock. The program is very easy to configure.

Version: ObjectDock 1.11
"Nice replacement for the old start menu. Keeps desktop clean"
Pros: Removes clutter from desktop. Organizes the apps where you want them. I removed all icons from the desktop, put them in the objectdock toolbar.
Cons: weather refuses to work. It worked the first time I installed it, but then it stopped working and won't update. If I replace the weather dll library after deleting it, it will work again until I log off and on again. then it stops. must be a bug. I'm sure they'll fix it. I'm not alone in this problem.

"Brilliant - A must have for your desktop"
Pros: Im amazed this freeware!, download it now before they change their mind!
Tidies up a cluttered desktop, mines is now icon-less. Very user freindly options and over a hundred icons included (also you can use any of your own) No problems using alongside smartbarxp either.
Cons: Cannot get the weather information to update - think this will be a uk only issue though
