1.Be it special exe files or doc files
2 Favourites saved on Internet Explorer

You should also mention DellDock. It was designed for Dell PCs, but works with any Win7 machine, and is a free download from Stardock. It's sort of hidden on their site, but still available:

RocketDock's website mentions that it will not work with 64 bit versions of Windows (XP, Vista or 7)

I've been using DELL dock for quite a while and like it so I thought I'd install it on my new HP, but the installer says it only works on DELL machines and exits. How do you get it to work on anything other than DELL?

not giving me any problems, despite saying it is not supported.
I have used it on 64 bit installs of both Vista and 7 and it works just fine in my experience. It is not officially supported but that does not mean that it does not work.
I don't see the need for any of these application launchers with Windows 7. I simply click the Start Orb (button), type in 2-3, maybe 4, letters of the name of the program, and press Enter. Voila! What could be easier? Why mess around with "docks"?
I use Rocket Dock in XP with a few plugins that make it behave a bit more like the Mac. For me, it's easier (and more fun) than simply using the start menu or the Quick Launch bar.
Of course, I still do go to Start > Run when I just want to type in the name of a program to launch, but I would do that anyway, with or without the dock.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Windows 7 Taskbar essentially function as a dock? I just pin what I would put in a dock on the task bar and a single click is all it takes. I will admit that sliderdock looks really neat.
Like you, I pin my most frequently used programs on the Taskbar (or Start Menu). I could possibly see the value of a dock on a XP machine (possibly), but I don't get it on W7. There's nothing wrong with a little eye-candy if that's your desired configuration, but I'm not seeing the functional value.

Someone asked if the windows 7 taskbar is essentially a dock. The answer is yes, but it doesn't have the features I need in a dock.
My favorite dock is Rocketdock. I tend to stay away from Stardock stuff as they are always trying to get me to buy something. My favorite new app is Splinter, but I still use Rocketdock until I totally figure Splinter out.
