Windows only: Application launcher 7stacks adds the Stacks functionality of Mac's OS X to
Windows 7, including Aero transparency effects that blend into your taskbar perfectly.
To create your own stacks, launch the application, pick a folder and the type of launcher you want, create a shortcut on the desktop, and then right-click the shortcut and pin it to the taskbar. You can pin up to 10 shortcuts onto the taskbar this way, and you can choose between Menu, Grid, or Stacks (pictured). You don't have all of the functionality that the
latest version of StandaloneStack gives you, but it blends into the desktop really well with the Aero transparency effects, making it well worth a look for anybody using Windows 7.
7stacks is a free download for Windows 7 only. For more, check out how

consolidating taskbar launchers with Jumplist and
switching folders with Folder Menu.
Update: Numerous readers point out that you've always been able to dock folders to the Windows taskbar by right-clicking on the taskbar and choosing New Toolbar from the Toolbars menu. This application simply does it with eye-candy effects instead of a plain menu.
