RocketDock lost settings
I started using RocketDock after I moved to Windows 7. It gives me a Really Nice launching pad for running my programs (instead of the Start Menu).
The original Rocketdock's settings screen has a few annoying bugs or limitations. One of the bugs is the time the extended time Rocketdock takes to respond to a right-click on an icon when your icon library is large (300+ icons). This is vital functionality as it is precisely how you change the appearance or the functionality of any Rocketdock. You will want to put icons for all the programs you normally use up there. To add or remove icons, or to change their order, you will need to 'Unlock' the RocketDock launch bar. To do this, right-click on any icon, and select 'Lock Items'. When there is a checkmark in front of 'Lock Items', the bar is locked.
Every once in a great while, it fails to load the prior icon set. If you click on 'load the default set', it may take you quite a while to rebuild your RocketDock icons from scratch. I tried changing the RocketDock option to save everything in a Settings.INI file - but it did not work.
After I restarted Windows, there was no INI file under C:Program Files (x86)RocketDock. Even worse, the option to save the INI file was no loger checked! After Googling a bit, I found the answer on YouTube. This problem is caused by the 'improved' security settings under Windows 7.
