Stick provides access to utilities such as folder explorers, web browsers, calculators, calendar, notepads and RSS news Feed in collapsible tabs (called ScreenTabs)that attach to the sides of the screen. You can also assign hotkeys to quickly access individual tabs no matter which application you happen to be using.

It's good but full of bugs!
A program with some useful features, but not all the components work. Some of the tabs are very convenient and cool, but you'll want to use templates once you get the tabs how you want them so you don't have to enter the settings in over and over again for each new tab. Tabs with problems include the RSS reader that shows a lot of HTML garbage, the calendar is static, and the calculator has to be on the top or the bottom of the screen -- not the side.
Numerous 'SideBySide' errors in the events viewer after running this.
**Update** It seems that i can recreate the "not responding" issue if I first launch it in one directory then later copy to another and launch again, the program seems to only run correctly as long as you don't move it to different folders. Specs: Windows XP Pro - 1 GB Ram - Power User (work computer lol).
@Webfork: You can change the orientation of the tabs (eg. calculator) by right-click on the tab and selecting the desired orientation.
After first run and different trying drives/folders to run it from - it now hangs with "not responding". Even though I only got it to run the first launch it looked like a pretty cool program. Now if I can only figure what makes it no longer respond.
