I've never heard of a dock that works on anything earlier than Windows 2000. The technology just isn't there in Windows 9x/ME.

Developers just don't bother creating programs for older systems anymore. You could try making a small web page with images and links to your programs on and using it as an Active Desktop item - but otherwise I think your luck has run out!

windows ..... ME ..... shutter !

good luck locating an older version

this is the kind of comments that make a lot of people "shutter" when asking questions about 98/me. lol

Shudder?

Oldversions.com?

But that's the problem, Windows 9x isn't used by very many people these days.

But there is a forum for support on these OS's on Neowin, therefore making your posts unhelpfull and off topic. If you cant help him, then dont post. Its been stated by Mods many times that these old forums are here to support people still using these old systems, NOT to slate people for using older systems.

But still, if nobody is writing software for 9x, why request it be written if every modern programming language requires Windows 2000?

I dont see anywhere that asks if it can be made, only if there is one that WAS made during the hight of 98 usage. Therefore your argument is void.

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
