If you switched from Mac to Windows 11, you must have missed the Dock. Or, perhaps you’re an avid Mac fan but you want to continue using Windows 11, and get a Mac-like appearance.
The Dock provides a smooth interface to access your frequently used programs and folders. It also helps you quickly switch between applications. You can further customize the Dock, change the default icons set, and make it more versatile for your use.
So, how can you get back to Dock in Windows 11? Are there no equivalents of Dock available for Windows 11? Let’s dig out the answers.
Taskbar Vs. Dock
Both the Taskbar and the Dock look different in design and appearance. The Taskbar occupies the full width of your screen, whereas the Dock only takes up a portion of it.
The icons in the Taskbar and Dock are of different sizes. Taskbar displays smaller icons whereas Dock displays larger icons. The names of the programs or folders were accompanied by the icons in earlier versions of Windows. In addition to programs and folders, the Taskbar also displays system date-time and system tray icons.
MyDockFinder is a third-party application that mimics Dock in Windows 11. You can use it to launch your most-frequently required applications and folders. You can also add system icons such as Recycle Bin or System Settings.
Here are some of the distinct features of MyDockFinder:
Customizability
MyDockFinder is fully customizable. You can change the size, position and color of the Dock. You can also optionally set it to auto-hide. When the auto-hide is activated, the Dock will only be visible when you move your cursor over its location.
Simple
MyDockFinder is easy to use, and comes with a straightforward installer. MyDockFinder supports drag and drop functionality. You can drag over your favorite applications, files and folders and they will appear on the Dock. You can also remove them later by right-clicking on them and selecting the “Remove from Dock” option.
Lightweight
Another good thing about MyDockFinder is its lightweight and uses lower resources. Even if you use an older PC, it will still run smoothly.
Folder grouping
MyDockFinder supports grouping related items. For example: You can create separate groups for applications and folders you use for personal and business reasons.
Search Functionality
While using our computer, we often need to search for applications or folders. MyDockFinder comes with a fast and powerful in-house Search functionality.
MyDockFinder was originally free. However, it is no longer free. It is available for a one-time purchase on the Steam website for a payment of $3.99.
Step # 1: Create a System Restore Point (Optional)
The program makes certain changes to your program files, user profile and system registry. It is important to create a system restore point before installing. If anything goes wrong during the installation, you can restore your system to an earlier point in time.
