Yes, certainly this can be done... but I find the micky mouse dock
just does not agree with my constitution (I still use it
usefully...) :)
I found the Dock to be a completely useless infuriating nuisance -
until I got a 19 inch monitor and added a "Launcher" folder to it.
Before the 19 inch monitor the Dock took up too much screen space, so
I was using it with 'Hiding' mode turned on - and it just about drove
me nuts bobbing up and down. With the 19 incher, it just takes up a
small strip at the bottom of the screen.
To add a "Launcher" folder, I first created a folder named Launcher
in my Home folder. Then I created sub-folders inside it - Editors,
Games, Graphics, Internet, etc. Then I put aliases (shortcuts) for
the applications inside the various category folders and dragged the
"Launcher" folder down beside the Trash Can.
It works almost as well as the pre-OS X Launcher panel. I just right
click on the folder and a menu pops up with my categories - then I
mouse-over the category and a sub menu pops up with the relevant
applications on it.
I just keep my everyday applications on the Dock. Eudora, Firefox,
Photoshop, etc. Everything else is on the Launcher - easy to get to
but out of the way.
I took a screen shot of how mine is set up. If anyone would like to
see it I can email it to you directly.
