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 really did like the basic design of the program, I was able to get it to put a few of the items on it and try it out. Unfortunately, I could not get it to work at all like in the video they have. This was the main reason that I even tried the program was due to some of the features I saw in video. I have some programs I use alot and need to access easily and I thought this program would give me access to them from the bottom bar. Unfortunately, though the video looked great, I found no way to perform many of the functions that where shown in the video. In the video you see the program running from the bottome bar. I could not find any directions on getting it to run this way either threw the FAQ or the help screen. All it would run was on a small bar on the top of the computer, There are no directions that show or tell you how to get the program to run in the bottome tool bar. Many of the items it said it can do, I was unable to figure out and the help/FAQ. The Help/FAQ left me so frustrated, I got rid of the program. Still, if you find that you don't mind running the program from the top of your computer, than, you might like it.
Here is small flash video where you can see how to open True Launch Bar on the taskbar (bottom toolbar): http://www.truelaunchbar.com/open.html Let me know If this not helped I would be happy to help you.
Originally I used the free version of this for a couple of years before upgrading to the paid version. It takes a while to get it configured the way you want, but once there it is a great program. Besides some categorized launch bars for programs and folders i use most often in the system tray I added plugins for weather and one to check email. Great program and easily worth the reduced price here.
I've been using this with WinXP since the last time it was featured on BDJ. It's a great program and has worked flawlessly. I really like it.
Great tool. I also purchased this last time here, and think it's one of the best 10.00 I've ever spent.
Yeah, same here. I bought it last time and really like it. Good deal.
