True Launch Bar

A Better Launch Bar

True Launch Bar
Tools & Utilities

*** Due to the overwhelming response Tordex has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy! ***

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.

Written by Roger Thomasson

Key Features:

  • True Launch Bar is fully compatible with the standard Windows Quick Launch toolbar. It uses the same folder for shortcuts, automatically reflects any changes, and can be docked into the taskbar.
  • Create menus in the True Launch bar panel and place shortcuts there. Save space on the taskbar and give it personalized functionality.
  • Completely supports Windows XP Visual Styles. You'll forget that it didn't come standard with Windows!
  • Create virtual folders that reside in a True Launch Bar menu. Right clicking provides a familiar Windows Explorer context menu.
  • True Launch Bar fully supports Drag & Drop technology. Simply drag shortcuts onto the toolbar or menu.
  • Skinnable. Download them or create your own.
  • Supports dozens of dynamic content plugins. Visit the plugins library to check them out.

Reviews & Testimonials:

  • “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

    Hello,

    Is 1 license enough when having dual boot (for both sites) and a virtual machine on my PC ?

    Thank you very much

  • Nov 28 2009 4:53am
    Tordex Developer Yuri Kobets (Tordex Developer) Says:

    Yes, 1 license is enough.

    Visitor Peter pereh (Visitor) Says:

    I know that TLB has a backup option. But what files/folders do I have to back up when using my own backup solution?

  • Nov 29 2009 6:27pm
    Tordex Developer Yuri Kobets (Tordex Developer) Says:

    By default the toolbar folder is: %appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    Backup all files including the hidden. All menus shortcuts and toolbar settings are in that folder.

    Visitor Guy Simmons (Visitor) Says:

    This software is brilliant. I always haved a 'busy' desktop and this program will allow me to organise things so that it is empty again. Yuri is very helpful and I am happy to support him. It's so good I don't mind that I bought it at full price.

    Visitor Nick Kobe (Visitor) Says:

    Hi!

    I have a desktop PC and several laptops. I'm the only user of these computers. Is the software license per computer or per user?

    Thanks!

    Nick

  • Dec 4 2009 2:08am
    Tordex Developer Yuri Kobets (Tordex Developer) Says:

    Nick Kobe: You need one personal license. The Personal License ($9.95) is per user.

    Visitor Curt Henning de Thurah (Visitor) Says:

    I am a devoted TLB user. But I am on Vista, so I have not been able to answer my friends when they ask if TLB really is any good on Win 7. Please?!

    Have a great salesday Yuri!
    i´ve bought it last time time you were here, nice stuff & alot to play with!

    Visitor John Gambriel (Visitor) Says:

    I am now using Windows & 64 bit. When I tried this a while back I could not get it to act like the XP feature of docking folders to screen edges, turning them into tool bars. Will this work in TLB in 64bit as described?

  • Dec 4 2009 8:47am
    Tordex Developer Yuri Kobets (Tordex Developer) Says:

    Curt: TLB works fine with the Windows 7 (Also I can to recommend to try the beta version with new skins). Also using of the Standalone TLB is the only way to open toolbars detatched from the taskbar.

    John Gambriel: Yes, this is possible to dock TLB to the any screen edge.

    Visitor Alan S (Visitor) Says:

    I purchased the software today. At then end of paying for it, ShareIt gave me a license key, however since normally I also get an email also, I just closed out of the site.

    I never did get an email with the license info, so I may need someone to send it to me.

    It's been a couple hours, but it's possible that Tordex is closed or something, so I will wait until tomorrow, but if I don't get it, can I get an email address that I can send the request for my license key?

    Thanks

    Visitor Michael R (Visitor) Says:

    Just tried to buy (for the second time). My first try was in the first hour of this offer and finally, after about 12 hours I got an email back, that my credit-card paying did not get through. (No message, why..)

    This time I tried to pay with PayPal. And again this 'Unfortunately the transaction for your order has been delayed'-message.

    Last time I tried to pay with ShareIt (and also my first time) was the same. Why does ShareIt needs so long to decide. Others can say immediately read more

    Visitor brenda adams (Visitor) Says:

    Happened very quickly for me.
    I just bought online using a credit card and in less than an hour I rec'd the license via email.

  • Dec 4 2009 8:06pm
    Visitor Alan S (Visitor) Says:

    Yes, I also just received my license key via email.
    It's all good.

  • Dec 4 2009 10:49pm
    Visitor Michael R (Visitor) Says:

    My second try, having being delayed, was also declined. Using a second postal address and paying again with PayPal finally worked directly. Lucky me. Two hours before offer was closed. Looking forward for future adventures with ShareIt.

    @Tordex: I really appreciate this fair kind of license: A single license for all computers a user has. Nowadays, that a single user has quite often has a desktop and a laptop, paying per installation is - in my eyes - as if someone wants to make extra money... read more

    Agree wirh Michael. Shareit are bunch of pathetic losers, pissed me off the same way, and not the first time. Whoever uses them, will sooner or later end up looking like them, sorry. Never seen such a slow service, all the otheres work immediately and without false redit limit alarms.

    Visitor Colin M (Visitor) Says:

    Liked the bar and went to pay for it, but VAT on order form is charged at 19%, while VAT here in UK is currently 15%!

    Who is taking the extra 4%?

    Was willing to buy Home license, but sticking with Personal now. :-(
