There’s a glitch in RocketDock that only shows itself in Windows 7 where stack docklets lose their settings when the computer is restarted. The problem is related to Win7 security and is easily fixed. Here’s how.
This post won’t get into how to install a stack docklet in RocketDock, but will only show how to keep Windows 7 from making RocketDock forget the stack’s settings.
Open your Computer and select the C drive.
Find RocketDock within Program Files (possibly Program Files (x86)) and right click to set the Properties.
Select the Security Tab and look for a User with your name. Edit it and choose “Allow” for Full control.
That’s it. Now redo the stack docklet and it will retain its settings.

Doing this is a really bad idea. It pretty much leaves you’re computer wide open for viruses. You should never change permissions of anything in Program Files like that. Ever.

Given that I’m only changing permission for myself and only for that one program, I didn’t consider it a security risk.
