True Launch Bar

A Better Launch Bar

We like the idea of the Windows Quick Launch bar, and even -- on rare occasions -- find ourselves using it. But we're always struck with the vauge, disconsolate feeling that it simply isn't reaching it's full potential.

True Launch Bar is a vastly-superior replacement for the standard Quick Launch bar. Don't worry -- every Quick Launch function is also in True Launch Bar, and they share the same shortcut folder. However, True Launch Bar allows us to combine our shortcuts into groups and display them in convenient popup menus. Right off the bat it saves us space on our desktop and makes it a snap to launch our favorite applications.

True Launch Bar is extremely configurable. We love the "auto-popup menus on mouse hover" option, and the "large icon" option makes working at high screen resolutions much more comfortable. Creating a new menu is as simple as right-clicking on True Launch Bar, and you can designate hotkeys to launch applications.

Best of all, True Launch Bar supports plugins like Mail Monitor, Weather Forecast, Media Control, System Process Monitor, Color Picker, Voice Recorder, Calculator, and dozens more!

But don't take our word for it. Give True Launch Bar a try today and watch how quickly you ask yourself how you ever lived without it.

“I started out just to keep my Quick Launch icons in order, and I ended up with a powerful tool. True Launch Bar is simply loaded with features from the ability to add folders, group shortcuts, and run plug-ins. You can customize the way it works to suit your needs and the wayyou work. It supports skins, large icons, drag and drop, XPvisual styles, and more.

True Launch Bar by Tordex is one of the most impressive programs I've looked at in 2006. Whether you're a student, a parent, or the CEO of a corporation, this is truly a Must Have Application! It can make you more efficient, more productive, and better organized. It's also my honor to award it the Tucows Editor's Choice Award for excellence. Give this product a try - I give it my highest recommendation!”- Dr. File Finder, www.tucows.com
“Small disk footprint, no detectable system drain, automatic setup, minimal learning curve, highly configurable, extremely stable, builds on what you already use, and has a low purchase cost. The bottom line is True Launch Bar is an indispensable add-on to Windows and adds the usability and functionality to the OS that should have been there in the first place. With just a few days worth of use, you'll wonder how you managed without it.”- Vance Hunt, www.dx21.com
“The end result is a taskbar that is extremely functional and built just like you like it. I use it on all computers I use regularly and feel lost without the functionality it provides when I am using someone else's computer. That is the mark of a great utility in my book.”- James Kendrick, jkontherun.blogs.com
“A typical computer user, when he becomes a bit «advanced» (which means, he uses applications beyond Word and Minesweeper), suffers a lot from the ineffective standard Windows environment (Desktop). Windows lacks Information on the system state, lacks Control over running processes, and lacks Tools in user's hands. To perform, view or change Something under Windows, we would need to do a lot of useless clicking, which is just as annoying as it is useless. You will hardly believe me, but I do know something that successfully solves most of these problems. The something is called True Launch Bar.”- www.3d2f.com
“To grasp the real value of True Launch Bar, try working with it for some time. Then any system without it turns into a raging nightmare.”- Nick Harley, Canada
“I want to tell you guys, your app is a killer!! I love it. Something that my company (MS) forgot to include in XP :) Worth every penny!!! Keep up the good work!”- Hack Lover, Italy

Software Guy Very nice and useful utility. What is the license policy - once purchased, can the user install on his desktop, laptop and netbook? Or is it a per machine license? Thanks!

Nov 14 2011 at 11:51am

Yuri Kobets There are some type of licenses. The Personal license is per-user license. You can use it on desktop, laptop, notebook etc.One license cover all computers you are using personally. Also you can use the The Personal license as "per-computer".

Other licenses are always per-computer:
Home license - 4 computers
Business license - 40 computers
Corporate license is for unlimited computers inside single corporation

All licenses are on sale ;)

Eddie Tex It appears the discount is not being applied when clicking "Buy Now". Additionally clicking on the "website" button doesn't take you to the Tordex website (not a big deal since you can navigate directly to their site).

I have to add that I had no interest in this app upon first glance, but seeing the comments and the vendor's responsiveness has me sold.

Kate Hadley I've used this application for about a year now and I can tell you it's the best launcher out there - I don't know what I would do without it now. Setting it up was difficult (steep learning curve) but once you've got the hang of it, you won't look back.

Nov 15 2011 at 3:37am

Software Guy The plugins add great utility to this program. Calendar, to do list, calculator and many other utilities are readily available - follow this link for a list: http://www.truelaunchbar....index.html

Mark K I bought this the last time it was on sale. It's a great utility with many options to customize its appearance. I use it all the time. Beats having a cluttered desktop full of icons. Well worth $9.95.

Roger Thomasson @ Eddie

The discount is showing up fine for me. Try clearing your cache -- might do the trick.

Fixed the website link, thanks for the heads up!

Nov 15 2011 at 8:25am

Eddie Tex @ Roger,

The pop-up shows now with the discount options. Previously was being taken directly to the order page w/o discount. Thanks.

Glen Hilton Terrific time saving application, excellent value and a commendable user policy.. Its worth taking your time to familiarise yourself with all the options to gain the most from this program. For those that use it regularly it really does become indispensable.

Steven Avery Hi,

Purchase completed. The browser window had opened under.

Looks like a nicely designed app. My normal start menu is designed top-down to my specs and maintained in file manger ... so I'm not 100% sure where it will help me. Perhaps in making the open-window-toolbar-system tray relationship more sensible. Perhaps with plugins. System trays are of limited utiility and the taskbar tends to get a bit cluttered. Plus maybe have fun with a few aspects.

So I am taking the plunge, since I can see a lot of care went into help-design etc (that is the big reason, a lot is intuitive enuf and stable) and there is a forum.

John H 1- Trial version seems buggy
2- There is no consolidated concise tutorial to get up and running to use all features. My time is to valuable to go through FAQs and forums.
3- Downloaded Motherboard plugin showed as an empty white block. Another plugin did not work.
3- Appears to not be designed for left screen taskbar position. I do CAD. Vertical space is too scarce to waste on keeping toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

10 minutes of productive time wasted trying poorly documented application. FAQs and forums are not documentation.
