Tab or docket view as menu

I could have swore there was a way to clcik on the tab or shortcut and have it come up as a menu, like when you click on the start button all programs and you get the menu on the right. I now how to do it as a flyout but I thought I could do it as a menu view all so. I once saw it on a friends computer and I'm almost positive he was using object dock.  I bought this thing today and Im having a blast setting it up.

any help would be greatly appreciated thank
