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).
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.
From the comments section of that YouTube video:
“When you reboot, settings of rocketdock becomes lost and restarts itself to default mode, and also, stackdocklet doesn’t work
solution:
go to C:program files
find rocketdock folder
right click and select properties
go to security tab
change permission settings by clicking “edit” icon
find your name/username (i.e warwin-pc/users)
change and click full control
click apply and ok
click another ok
your rocketdock should now work well even after rebooting
This problem occurs in 64bit computers with windows 7″
