Ok, I don't even know what this is called so idk how to search for it. I'm looking for the name of the application that puts tabs on the side of the desktop that take you to whatever folders you assign them to. I've seen this in a few screenshots, but I can't locate one quickly. Can someone help me in telling me what this program is called? I think it would be considered a GUI program.

Thank you!

I thought it might be a GUI related program as some kin dof modiferying the dock, idk.

i think he's thinking of sticky windows

Sticky Windows
Yesterday is History,
Tomorrow's a Mystery,
Today is a Gift...
Which is why it is called the Present.

I really was looking for the DragThing program. I wanted to have a folder tabbed on the side of my screen to get to it faster. I just didn't know you had to choose to have the DragThink dock be a drawer to get what I wanted. It's an expensive program though. It's $30, and I wouldn't use most of the features, so I'm not going to buy it. I do like that Sticky Windows program though. That looks like it would be better. I just want to have a side tab to get to different kinds of doccument folders. So, thank you to everyone that has helped me!
