    Software shortcut docks?


    I'm in the process of upgrading from Win7 to Win 10 (at long last, I know), by buying a new Dell computer. On my previous Dells, I've used a utility called Dell Dock, which is a dockable, customizable tool for organizing software shortcuts. So I have a category for media-related programs, a category for research and writing programs, etc., and the whole thing is slid off to the side of the screen. It's been very convenient, but it's not available for Win10. Some searching online has not turned up anything comparable. Does Win10 itself include such a utility?

    :)

    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

    • Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
    • Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
    • Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
    • Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.Software shortcut docks? :)

    HDD Docking

    Hi Tonyo,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • What is the make and model of the docking station?


    The computer docking connections located on the bottom of the computer vary between computer models. For the docking station to work properly, the docking posts, eject mechanisms, and electrical connections on the docking station must be compatible
    with the connections on your computer model.



    Meanwhile, if the docking station is compatible, you may update the device drivers for your docking station and check if it works.



    Update device drivers for docking station:

    • Open the PC manufacturer support Web site, search for the
      Docking Station Driver for your PC model.
    • Install the driver suggested and check.


    If the issue persists, update the BIOS and try connecting the Docking Station again.



    Note:

    Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the
    configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.





    Regards,
