Free Launch Bar -- Quick Launch Cubed
Posted on Monday, July 03, 2006 at 6:49 PM by Randall
Many people have ten, twenty, or even more icons in the "Quick Launch Bar" area of the Windows taskbar (next to the start button). The Quick Lauch Bar can easily get overcrowded and not so quick. While you can put folders of shortcuts in the quick launch area to create menus, you have to Control-click to open the menu and you have no control over the order of items in the menu. Free Launch Bar is a free toolbar enhancement that makes the "quick launch" area of the taskbar much more organized and useful. Free Launch Bar makes it easy to have organized menus of programs in your quick launch area.
Here are the main features of Free Launch Bar from the program's web site:
* Creating menu on taskbar with unlimited levels
* Compatibility with Windows XP
* Integration into Windows Shell
* Low resources
* Compatibility with Quick Launch
* Creating separators to group shortcuts inside menus
* Different view modes
* Hotkeys
* Using PNG pictures as icons
* Support of Windows Drag&Drop technology. To add shortcuts you can simply drag them into menus
* Improved tips. You can include some of HTML tags into button description.
* Fast toolbar switching
* Absolutely FREE
Free Launch Bar is a scaled down version of the shareware True Launch Bar which has even more features (but costs about US$20). However, the free version has a lot of useful features and is a wonderful enhancement for just about any Windows desktop. Give it a try!
