Standalone Stack: launch your favorite folders as hovering “stacks”

I’ve tried using this product but every single time I do:
“Go to properties and in the target field type in any name in front of “StandaloneStack.exe” (with a space separating them).”
And I press ok it says the target box is invalid.
And if i try to run the shortcut it gives me this:

(I’ve tried running it without closing the properties box as well)

Any chances of helping me out?

@ Ciel: rename the shortcut target to something like:

“D:\Downloads\StandaloneStack\StandaloneStack.exe downloads”
i.e. put the description AFTER the “exe” (with a space).
Then when you run it it will prompt you to browse for the folder to stack, with other options. I prefer the fan display myself.

blogward, I’ve tried doing that… many times in fact but everytime i click ok to the properties this keeps popping out.

@Ciel: Your folder path has a space in it (“Documents and Settings”), you need to make sure you have quotation marks in the right place:

i.e.: “C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\StackDocklet\StandaloneStack.exe” desktop

Notice how the description “desktop” is outside of the quotation marks.

When I try to use it, I get a dialog box that says, “Error loading plugin”
My Target is set to “C:\Standalone Stack\StandaloneStack.exe” desktop

I found on Windows 7 and Windows Vista (doesn’t work on XP)that you can use a combination of the Windows keys while pressing numbers 1-9 to open up shortcuts in the corresponding taskbar/quicklaunch spot. So I put the stack in my number 1 spot taskbar/quicklaunch area and hit “Windows key+1″. It will open the stack at my mouse point for immediate clicking action, which makes this a really cool app even better.

Pretty nice. it’s an alternative from using the rocketdock or objectdock software. i use objectdock myself and it includes the fly out stack ability too…buuuut..
back in the old days when cpu and ram ratings weren’t that great for a lot of apps running in the back ground..i found an alternative method..a bit hardy but you wont need to install anything aside from having windows itself…it wont be as pretty but it wont eat as much ram and cpu cycles either.the answer is..Toolbars. yep..i’ll explain how i do it:
•Set up a folder anywhere in your pc name it shortcuts.
•set up different folders inside with names such as graphics, media players, games..etc..you’re type of software that you can distinguish apart.
•inside those folder you can create a shortcut to the appropriate applications like for example in the graphics folder you have a shortcut to your adobe photoshop.exe.
•after fixing up your shortcuts and everything else..right click on the taskbar itself (a blank area) and choose toolbars…choose new toolbar and point/target it to a folder inside your shortcuts folder.
•and voila you have yourself a stack-like applications launcher on the taskbar that saved you hard drive space, memory and cpu cycles..
• and the neat thign about this is…after setting it all app..you can simply make a “.zip” copy of your shortcuts for back up use just in case you need to reformat you pc with the same old app…no problems with re-isntalling or compatibility issues.

i know it’s a lot harder than simply clicking “Install” but it’s an option.
