Clean Up Your Desktop With This Nifty Application

Last year I mentioned about Object Dock which is a nifty application that will clean up a messy desktop. But it uses to much system – resources. So I did some Research and found a Mac, type navigation bar for the PC, called Rocket Dock, that only requires 6.20mb of – memory & is very light on the system resources. So you maybe saying to self at this point ‘What Does It Do?’ Don’t feel bad if you asked your self that question I sure did when I first found out about Rocket Dock.

So I will explain it terms every one can understand! Rocket Dock, is a PC desktop Application that provides a Mac, style navigation bar for your software shortcuts & your desktop folders. It’s pretty simply you drag the icons from your desktop and place them on your – - Rocket Dock then anytime you need to use the software or browse the net you just click the appropriate icon. To launch the software or browser.
