This is really strange...I came here to ask a question about Object Dock...really strange seeing a thread about it at the top the list.

Anyway, bud all you have to do is this...
Right click on your OBJ bar...Dock Settings>Dock Contents: At the bottom, uncheck "Hide Windows Taskbar".

Done!

Oh, and if you know how to get folders to show up in the "Open Apps" toolbar on Object Dock, please let me know, because they show up intermittently. Annoying!
