One of the best things within in OS X is the dock. Its a great way to keep all of your favorite applications in an organized way right at your finger tips. Sometimes it gets a little crowed on that dock to have all of your programs on there, but with the recent addition of stacks its now easier than ever to get all of your apps on the dock in a great organized way.
- Open up the finder
- Click on your hard drive, it should be the first icon under Devices
- Now you should see the Applications folder
- Drag and drop that folder next to the Downloads and Documents stack.
Now you should have an icon on the dock with an application on it, its going to be organized alphabetically, now click the stack and you will see all of your applications

That’s a great tip. If I add an empty folder to the dock as a stack source, is there a way to add only specific programs to that folder, picked hodge-podge from within Applications?
Thus far, the only way that I’ve been able to do this is to do a full copy of the program from the source into the stacks folder. I’m just switching over from a PC, so I’m a bit out of sorts — but is there something akin to a “shortcut” that I can use?
