Can you run two docks at the same time?

from Stardock Forums
I'm trying out Stardock (Free) under WinXP Home. Nifty. But I prefer to keep the Windows Taskbar visible and sometimes getting to it means passing the cursor over the Dock and the icons go flying around and it's a pain. What I'd love to do is have TWO docks running -- one vertically at the left screen edge, one at the right -- that way, the Dock wouldn't interfere with reaching the Taskbar, but it wouldn't run off the screen at top or bottom (20" widescreen monitor @ 1680x1050). Is this, or an effectively identical setup, possible? THX JLJ

You need Object Dock Plus to run multiple docks.

jljomatic I believe the free version of Object Dock only allows you one zoomer dock. Object Doct Plus I believe allows you multiple zoomer and tabbed docks. Check out this link. WWW Link

Philly is correct. Always trust your philly. Island dog too if you want :)

Plus includes both tabbed and "zoomer" docks (the same kind that come in the free version). You can run as many as you like. My test machine runs tabs, and two zoomers. One for quick short cuts and docklets, and a small one for the systray only.

You can disable that, it's somewhere in the options but I don't remember where since I've been using Plus.

But yes, along with the above replies, I highly recommend it. ;)
