To keep your desktop tidy, floating panels can be rolled up and down. To roll up a panel, just click on the top of the panel once.

Opening any Manager.

Instead of using the View menu to open resource panels from the Resource Manager submenu, you can right-click over the title banner of any resource panel for a quick menu with all the different resource panels listed.

Presets

HotDog also comes with some commonly used Resource Manager configurations. For example, if you do a lot of uploading, then you would usually prefer to have the Local and Internet File managers open.
