How to create sub menus? ObjectDock or other

I just scanned through the FAQ and did a search through the groups hoping to find someone who has already asked (and got an answer to) the question I have. I did not find what I was looking for, so if this topic has already been covered, I do apologize.

I downloaded the ObjectDock a few days ago and I really like it. I would like to use it as a complete replacement for my Windows Start menu and task bar. (Either by itself, or in combination with another application.)

What I have been trying to figure out is how to create submenus with the ObjectDock. For example, instead of having 3 seperate icons for Photoshop, Premiere, and Acrobat, I would like to have 1 Adobe icon that would then drop down the 3 seperate icons for the 3 programs I just named. Same with Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). I just have to many programs to fit them all (neatly) on the ObjectDock.

If my requirements go beyond the scope of what the ObjectDock is intended for, I have no problem just using the ObjectDock for my most commonly accessed programs, and then using another app for my less commonly used programs.

I downloaded ObjectBar thinking it would do what I wanted, and possibly it would, but the program interface is simply too complicated for me. I could probably figure it out given enough time, but I'm hoping to find something that is more user friendly. What I envision are seperate dockable menus that can be placed anywhere around the edge of the screen that I want. A games menu, an imaging tools menu, an office suite menu, and so on.

Any information/advice anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

You should give HoverDesk a try. It's not very complicated, and very versatile.

Sir elvee, thanks for the link to KkMenu. It looks like it might help me out.

Wizop Koasatai, thanks for your link as well. I downloaded the program and installed it but the program doesn't appear to be multi monitor aware. I have 3 screens and when I have hoverdesk activated, it only allows me to make use of my primary screen. Short coming of the program I guess. Also it seems to be very unresponsive and I have a pretty decent machine. (1GB of RAM, 2500XP+ CPU) The program looks good from what I could see though. Allthough it didn't appear immediately obvious to me that there was any way to create dockable "tabs" for submenus that I could place anywhere around the edge of the screen that I wanted. If I can get the monitor thing figured out, and if I can figure out why it's so sluggish, I'll continue to mess with it.
