Lost Docking Station???

Hi

I recently did a reboot of my Vista Home Premium operating system. Prior to the reboot I had what could be described as a docking station at the top of my desktop which would appear when the mouse was dragged over it. It had links to my windows mail/word processor/windows media player etc.

Does anyone know how to get that back or where to download it from as it was really helpful to have!?

The laptop which I have (Inspiron 1525) was purchased from dell.com.

I hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance.

I'm running Vista 64 bit but if 32 is the same, if you right click your desktop, then do Customize, there should be one for "change desktop icons" where you can select stuff like Documents to be on the desktop or not. See if your dock is in there.
