I use Windows 7 at work on a Dell. My new Gateway laptop arrived yesterday and I have stayed up all night trying to find the Dock Bar. I viewed a thread about it that is 3 months old. Does this mean that since I don't have a Dell I can't have the Dock Bar? If so, I'll probably send this computer back.

giving that its a gateway i'de send it back ,there junk anyways

if it a dell dock then no the gateway is not going to have it .

you could try rocket dock as the dell dock will not work on the gateway .

Dock is a free to use application which is designed to be a small tool that sits above the Windows Start menu and can be used to "Dock" shortcuts and files by simply dragging the file on to it.
