I like Nexus, much better than Object Dock, but I would like "plus" features, mainly subdocks. I'm not interested in Winstep Xtreme features, but am willing to pay for extra Nexus features. How about it??

Thanks for thumbs up!

Get the much cheaper Basic version of Winstep Xtreme. It still includes NextSTART, and, if you really don't want to use it (although I'm sure that it will grow on you if you do), you can always disable and prevent it from running.

nexus has a subdock feature. i'm not using it now, however i have used it in the past. it work fine.

That feature isn't available in the free version of NeXuS

you're right. i just looked at it's main page. i cannot speak for winstep, but looks like it is a teaser to get people on board to buy the paid version. which i can understand considering what you get for the price. between the nextstart hotspot for desktop items, workshelf for various folders and drives, nexus for my most used program shortcuts, and startmenu organizer saving me having to go into two different folders to organize my startmenu. then you add the small amount of system resources xtreme uses versus other programs.
