Docktop is a new launcher for Mac OS X. This application provides a highly customizable launchbar on your desktop -- behind the icons -- to which you can add items to open applications, files, folders, weblinks, or AppleScripts.

Here are some key features of "Docktop":
Launch Applications, Files, Folders, Weblinks, or AppleScripts
Password Protection
Perfect for Kiosks or Company-wide Links (Site Licensing Available)
Customizable Icons (use any icon — not just the icon of the item)
Drag-and-Drop Configuration
Drag-and-Drop Open, Move, Copy, & Alias of Finder Items
Position Anywhere on Your Desktop
Variable Default Banner Title — Great for Advertising
Intuitive & Unobtrusive Operation.

Limitations:
7-day free trial.

What's New:
Compiled as a Universal Binary.
Added an option to hide the Desktop. When hidden, the files are still available in the Desktop folder accessible from the Finder or the "Open Desktop Folder" option from the Docktop contextual menu.
Integrated the "Multiply Docktop" functionality directly into the Docktop preferences. Click the "Clone Docktop" feature to create a new instance of Docktop that allows its own preferences, items, position, etc.
Fixed an error that occurred on some systems when re-launching Docktop after changing the background image style.
