So this windows thing I�ve been experiencing, annoying the heck out of me. I�m on spring break this week, so naturally I�ve spent a majority of the week working because I don�t have the money to spend on a vacation (saving up for a 12� pb!). I have to use windows at work, no big deal, but just recently I became insanely annoyed. I work for the university and we make campus tours and look people up in the directory online, so I was thinking of how convenient it could be to have the url�s in the dock while I�m checking scores or just checking out macnn or whatever. I�m also looking for somewhere to put 2 excel spreadsheets we use that is accessible also. Somewhere better than the desktop, something dock-like. So I was thinking it wouldn�t be too hard to do in windows and then everyone else that uses this computer could figure it out too. Well, I can place the url�s in the start menu with a label, but I only place 2. I thought it would be great to have the spreadsheets there too. The start menu in XP is such a waste of space, you cannot customize it anyway you want too, it is such a waste of space. So getting that off my chest � I love tourney time. 12-4 after day 1, looking good today. Can�t wait to see Kentucky, Pitt, Duke and UConn in San Antonio and watching the Huskies take care of business.
Thanks for reading my griping.

There is a haxie for Windows to have a "dock", my brother-in-law has a sony laptop with it. Though it is cheesy, it does work, and I'm certain you could put anything in it.... folders, URLs, etc.
I am not sure if this is the only one, but I did a quick search on Google:

I haven't used XP for a while but I do think you can right-click anything and add it to the start menu...
