Virus Scan for True Launch Bar

Mary Wilson 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.

Nick Katz 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.

Ron Croker I have been trialing "True Launch Bar" this week and very pleased with it. I asked to be emailed when the special offer of $10 was available but I haven't received a reminder. As your offer is based on US time and not UTC I didn't expect an answer until later in my day.
I am not outside the 24 hour period of offer. Is it still possible I could obtain registration of this product at special offer price?

Vladimir Radmilovic I'm using this software for years, and it's one of first things that I install on a new system. I even written a review or two on some blogs. It's a tremendous time-saver and, for $10, there's really no reason to think. Highly recommended!

Rick Truell For anyone (like myself) interested in buying True Launch Bar, it should be noted that this time around, the BdJ deal on TLB isn't quite as good as advertised. I went to TLB's website on Friday to check out the program and download a trial copy (and again just a few minutes ago to make sure that nothing had changed before posting this comment) and noticed that they have "Summer Discounts" pricing right now, with TLB selling for $15US. That makes the BdJ discount only $5 (33%), rather than the $10 (50%) that's advertised. Not that a 33% discount isn't a good deal...just not quite as good as the 50% that's advertised :-)

Mitchel Haas I've been using True Launch Bar over a year now, and think it was one of the best purchases I made, and I purchased it at the full price. I usually have a lot of apps open, which leaves little room for my quick launch bar. True Launch Bar fixed that problem, plus allowed me to categorize my shortcuts. Very efficient program, and works great.

Adrian Williams I've bought it as it's far simpler to configure than Workshelf and more flexible. The 'tear-off' option can give you a completely floating launchbar just like Workshelf if that's what you want. I'm just getting to grips with the advanced features and plug-ins.
Highly recommended for those who want access to progs without the clutter of a full desktop. My desktop is empty - just using True Launchbar. An absolute bargain at todays price.
I've been looking at the forum and the support looks very good - very responsive to suggestions. A++

Larry Adams I've been using TLB for about 9 months now. I think of it as a vertical Start Menu- I have several nested menu folders open right from the Quick Launch area- saves 2 or 3 mouse clicks I used to make "drilling" through my deeply nested Start Menu. I don't use about 2/3 of what TLB is capable of doing, but the 1/3 I do use is invaluable. Highly recommended. I've got no connection to Tordex, just hope they continue to do well.

Alan 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

Michael R 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 if the transaction did work or not!?

When I bought the last time with ShareIt the situation was quite the same: They declined the first order and after having tried another one and having still no answer some minutes before the end of the offer, I tried it again. In the end I had unintentionally bought the product twice. It was quite a work to get the money back for the unwanted second license.

This time - I will not try again until I get a negative message again - I fear, instead of getting it twice, I will not get a single license at all.

Perhaps - in that case - Tordex will let me buy for the current price...

Hoping the best...

@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... People can not really multitask, so noone is using a program twice at the very same time...

Mike G Really happy with Windows 7 overall, but there are a few exceptions. One of them is Start menu All Programs. Once you get over a certain number of programs installed, going to All Programs is no fun. Thankfully, with True Launch Bar I rarely have to. I use the TLB standalone module to store all my frequently-used applications and tools in an auto-hide sidebar. This lets me keep the Windows taskbar nice and clean with only a few programs. TLB can be customized to look and function just about any way you want.

Peter Gabriel Bought this program ages ago. Couldn't do without it now, loads of features and add-ons (all free) and free upgrades. Takes a bit of getting used to because there are so many features but once you've got the hang of it it's indispensible in my opinion.

Rubby the duck I also own a license of this great tool and I doubt that I will ever be able to live and work without it.
It is highly customisable, which means that one can change its appearance at will, vary the size of the icons and the menues or maybe use a different skin, but also the toolbar itself can vary depending on various factors. Additionally one might download and install several add-ons which add lots of functionality to this toolbar.
I personally use TrueLaunchBar in the taskbar and not as a standalone module and thus I have all imporant data right in sight. I have an email-add-on which automatically checks for incoming mails (incl. spam filter), a wheather forecast, a todo-list for quick notes and several plugins to display system activities, e.g. read/write activity on my harddisk.
I have quick access to all my favourite folders and programmes and I am able to switch between several toolbars (and thus different shortcuts), even automatically whenever I launch a specific application.
And that's just the beginning.
Try it, love it, get it. :-)

Thomas Lattner I do not know the value of the plugins you mention, but this is as superfluous as the original quick launch.

This is my way to get a quick launch feature without wasting space in the task bar AND without spending a penny
1. Right-click on START
2. choose OPEN
3. create folder MyGroup

Now you can drop shortcuts to MyGroup an execute them via START
And yes you can create subgroups/subfolders

Cheers

David Agree, Andrew, the videos are not very good. They're all about the cosmetics... changing colors and such. Where are the videos about the true added value... increased productivity?

How on TLB do we see what programs are currently open in Win 7 and easily view the open windows in each program? Without that feature, it's missing a key Win 7 feature.

The Standalone True Launch Bar is external TLB toolbar. You can dock it to the any screen side. The shortcut to the standalone True Launch Bar you can find in the Start-All Programs-True Launch Bar menu. And TLB set the color for this external toolbar, not for taskbar.

@James Kenney

The Home license just for 4 computers. The Personal license is personally for you and you can use it on all your computers (home, laptop, work computer)

VLM Hi Yuri, thanks for explaining the Standalone Toolbar.

I now fee confused about the personal vs. home license. If the personal (least expensive( is for unlimited computers (my own), then does the home license cover 4 people? Or 4 what? It does cost more than double, so I assume you have something larger in mind than the personal license ... I just don't quite understand it yet. (And I already bought the home license. So I really do need to understand it! :):)

If you have some computers but one is your own, other for your wife/husband and two computers for your children. Or you are a small company with 4 computers - this is home license.

If you have a home computer, laptop, computer at work - this is the personal license. Not limited, but how many computers you can have for personal use?

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.

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.

Dexter Bell I've used True Launch Bar for years and no longer really think about it since it has become an integral, and essential, part of Windows for me. I will be buying the Business License this time, not because I have 40 computers but because it is far, far better than its $9.95 price here.

I have a TLB menu setup as a floating vertical strip down the left side of my desktop with a link to it from a button on the task bar so it is always available. Another menu comes down from the top of the Desktop when I move the cursor up there and disappears when I move the cursor away.
My only complaint is that when I get a new computer it takes me a while to figure out how to get TLB configured the way I want it - but that time is well spent!

An aside and nothing to do with TLB, I've always wondered what 'No return policy' on the policy tab means: Returns are not accepted or there is no stated policy concerning returns. :-)

VLM Dexter, I noticed the "No return policy", too. Pretty funny.

Yuri, the term "business license" is obviously not the biggest issue in the world, and I realize that the name has no special significance or requirement from your point of view, I get that completely. But in some countries (as one that has something called Internal Revenue Service), it turns out that what things are called can matter a great deal. I would buy the "business license" if it were called something else, but in a church or the like, we have to stay away from such language, just to be safe. Things are not the same here in America, as they once were.

I use IBM Thinkpad Tablets. When in Tablet mode, the Task Bar is difficult to access if it is kept hidden to conserve screen space.

John H: True Launch Bar supports the standalone mode. You can run it from Start-All Programs-True Launch Bar. In the standalone mode TLB toolbar can be placed at any screen side and can be as small as you need. So you get the small icon with one or more icons.

Other way. Check this thread on out forum
http://forum.tordex.com/thread-3610.html
You can find the utility deskKeys there. This small utility converts the right-click on desktop into the hotkey. You can assign the hotkey for the TLB menu and when you right-click the desktop you'll open the TLB menu.

VLM Yuri, in reading gall this, I have a question. Is it possible to run TLB completely using shortcuts, without having to click on anything at all?

I ask, because I use Classic Shell, which is free. Classic Shell basically creates an XP-style Start menu. I use ctrl-esc to press Start, just like in the old days, and then all keyboard from there.

Is it possible to do all-keyboard, no mouse clicks at all, using TLB?

Yuri Kobets VLM: Yes, I think TLB is keyboard friendly (at least I tried to make it so). You can assign the hotkey for activating toolbar, opening menus and launching shortcuts. You can navigate inside and between the menus with keyboard only. TLB supports accelerators (the underlined letter in the item name to access it with ALT+letter shortcut). Also you can type the first letters to quickly select menu items.

Steven Avery Hi,

I create my own groups in the Start Menu, and then move things around with a file manager. As long as you know where stuff is kept, the relationship between ALL and the individual USER, that is simple. Not sure how a launcher could improve on my own design. e.g. "Start-->Utilities-->Defragment-->Defraggler".

Ok, maybe it is prettier and the applets can be helpful..

Shalom,
Steven

B Josephs I installed the trial. One big question - does TLB support jump lists? If not, I can't see this as a Windows7 task bar replacement - maybe an enhancement. But then again, if I need to use both, won't things will get crowded mighty fast down there?

Apr 17 2012 at 6:40pm Copy Link

VLM Steven Avery - I've been wondering similarly. I have completely replaced the Win 7 Start menu using Classic Shell, so I now have a very XP-like Start menu. And yes, I do the same, create my own folders and the like. Classic Shell allows operation using 100% shortcuts and including accelerators.

What Classic Shell does not appear to do ... and I'm going to have to check this out, actually ... is provide navigable lists of currently open windows, by application. That's the one useful thing the Win 7 Quick Launch bar does, IMO, though clumsily, and replacing that would indeed be helpful.

I THINK TLB offers some nice features beyond Classic Shell. And I KNOW that I haven't even begun to use all the software I've bought here at BDJ. Still thinking on it ....

http://www.truelaunchbar.com/

I thought the vendor only sold it through Bitsdujour when I clicked on "website" beneath the green "buy now" button.

So if you're looking for their other license packages go to the site.

The application is
- very functional
- very customizable
- very reasonable prize even better when you take in account that their 4 pc license is 45$ (now 39$ sale) and you may use it one company or home
- and it's lifetime upgrade based, not the model where you pay for every major release

To all other developers / vendors / etc who release messy tools at ginormous prizes combined with "every release you pay" and a dash of "we have a support link but please don't use it"....take a note of these guys and learn.

Amit 1) I have been using tlb for some time now but recently a problem has stopped tlb to work at all on my windows 7 64-bit system.

It was functioning ok - but one day - some time ago - tlb wont load - as far as i remember i tried to use not the toolbar integrated nto the taskbar which makes the taskbar shorter - but i tried the .Exe (tlbhost.Exe) - to make tlb work as a sidebar.

It worked alright some days - but now it has stopped working just 1 day when i booted up my pc.

Not sure what happened - but trying some efforts into it - to launch again the exe or open tlb from toolbars again (from taskbar rightclick) - its still not working.

2) Secondly - i was not able to apply skins (the looks as are on the tlb main page) - like the good pictures of the blue skin on http://www.Truelaunchbar.Com/ - just had to contend with the plain default skin. I tried too to do that with some searching on main site but in the end it was not done. Any easy guide on skinning section ? - And skinning of maybe also all other main parts.

Stuart Henderson Just wanted to chime in and support the True Launch Bar from Tordex. I have been using this program for about 18 months and when I say using I mean relying on it every day to whizz me to the right files and folders on my work laptop. I maintain separate folder and files structures for each of my workstreams and before TLB it was torture using W7 native shortcuts and launchbars. TLB really kicks in where other launchers cease to work well. I tried all the well known ones and TLB is in a class of it's own. Now I will say that (for me, anyway) there was a bit of a learning curve getting things the way I wanted them. But it is a very worthwhile investment as once you get into the way of the program .. you're flying. Buy it, spend a bit of time setting it up just right as it can do SO MUCH you won't look back.

and another thing i wanted to know is if the license is transferable in case of HDD crash or reformatting the OS? or if i buy a new PC and decide to uninstall it from the old PC and install it on the new one.

Steven Avery Hi,

The issue really is that the Start menu is very easy to design in Windows XP to be hierarchical friendly and quick. Granted, it is not so easy to have logical differentiated launch bars.

Anyway, if your loading by the Start Menu is already super-quick (changes to groupings made in Total Commander, not the clunky native way) do you gain much with True Launch Bar ? Dunno.

I did load it to try to find out, it is nice in design, but it would take more play time to determine if it is a good fit. If it is a good fit, then you want the "home license" in most cases, but then you have a bit more at stake.

Fraser Gorrie @Big Tex. I thought so too. So I went to Youtube and watched a few videos of how to use it. Almost mechanical voice-over, almost retro, but it got the message across. I can use it now to create custom "folders" of shortcuts so far. Lots of functionality. I have been using jetToolbar for many years. It is no longer supported, but I continue to use it because it is so useful. TrueLaunchBar might be a challenger though. Jury is still out.

Rick Truell Metta Zetty: Since I was one of the first few to praise TLB this time around, I guess I should mention what plug-in's I'm using. They are: add or remove programs, battery monitor (on my laptop), clipboard manager, command line, drive space, device manager, net monitor (showing upload and download transfer rates), port monitor, real ip (shows the local IP address of my machine and the Internet IP address assigned to my cable modem), turn off computer (a recent addition I use all the time; two keystrokes and the computer either shuts down or reboots!!), up time (just for fun; shows how long it's been since the computer was booted), virtual desktop, volume control, weather forecast and wireless monitor. I also have a folder containing the virtual folders control panel, desktop and programs.

I use the standalone launch bar docked to the top of my monitor and have it configured to auto-hide and to display itself a couple of seconds after I move the mouse pointer to the very top of the monitor.

You'll note that a number of these are copies of the ones normally available via the "Start" button. I also run a program called "Start Killer" (freeware available from the good people who bring us TLB!) that removes the "Start" button, which gives me a little more room on the taskbar...but which also means I can no longer access the things available on the "Start" button. The plug-in and virtual folder "copies" of those things in TLB takes care of that problem. The desktop virtual folder does even more..on XP (and probably Vista and 7 as well), the desktop icons are sorted firstly by programs installed for 'all' users and then by programs installed for the 'current' user, so you have two 'sections' to look in to find the icon you want. TLB's desktop virtual folder combines all those program icons together and *then* sorts them, so there's only one 'section' to look in...as it should be.

Dennis Johnson I have to jump in and echo those that like this app. But then, I don't like it - I LOVE it!

I've been using TLB over 10 years. It is the first thing I install on a new computer or laptop. I would be soooo lost without it.

Not only is the app one of the most useful apps out there, Uri offers truly amazing support! You will never hear a bad word about the support Tordex offers. Uri is simply dedicated to his customers.

I can't say enough good things about the software and the developer. They're both tops in my book.

This thing's a steal at the regular price! If you purchase it for 50% off, you might feel just a little dirty after it becomes your favorite software ever.

I'd tell Uri to keep up the good work, but he doesn't need any incentive from me.

Just buy TLB already. Do something good for yourself!

Dennis Burns Yes. I read that part. I usually do not buy software that cannot EVENTUALLY be transferrred to a new machine if needed. If I decide to retire a machine, or if the machine crashes, I like to be able to legally move licensed software to a new machine. Let's say I buy a home license, and install it on 4 machines. Then one of the machines gets retired or dies. Can I put the software on a new replacement machine?

Feb 9 2013 at 10:11am Copy Link

Yuri Kobets @Dennis Burns

As I said you can transfer license to other computer. True Launch Bar does not have online activation and the license key does not depend of the hardware. So the transfer process is very easy:
1. Uninstall TLB on old computer (if this is possible)
2. Install TLB on new computer
3. Use your license key on new computer

Optionally you can transfer all settings to the new computer.

@Dennis Johnson

Yuri or Uri both sounds identically :)

Faisal Humayun Based on the reviews, I decided to take this for a spin ( windows 7 64 bit), and I'm very glad I did.

In the 20 minutes I evaluated the program, here's what sold me:

- True Launch Bar uses the same technology as standard Quick Launch, so there's no .exe to run and it integrates right into the taskbar ( http://snap.ashampoo.com/PtkvPqsl )

- TLB mirrors exactly on my 2nd monitor ( Thanks to Actual Multiple Monitors http://www.actualtools.co...emonitors/ )

There are a good deal of 64 bit plugins. Even so, some plugins such as coretemp (refuses to run), and the add/remove program module doesn't appear to respect the global skin settings. But these are minor haggles, and the pros exceedingly outweigh the cons.

Thanks for the terrific deal BDJ/Tordex, and my appreciation to the BDJ community for the helpful feedback.

Richard Andersen Thanks Dennis!

@ Yuri: I'm a bit uncertain about the "per user" license thing. If a person has say 3 or 4 computers not used by anyone but himself, will that require a single license or a 4 computer license? And how about computers with 2 or more operating systems (again, used only by the same person)?

Yes you need one Personal License only. No matter how many computers and operating systems you are using personally. Personal license is for one person. Or it is for one computer if the computer is used by more then one person.

pumpkin I followed the advice of someone who posted either here or on some other forums that TLB had to be customized to one's liking before it can become something truly wonderful. I fiercely stuck to this advice and have not regretted it. I can repeat the same: TLB is not (unfortunately?) an out-of-the box piece of software but if you really take the time to customize it, you will not only come to love it but won't be able to live without it. That's the wonder of TLB: something that grows with you.

Not because I purchased it on a prior promotion, but because I purchased it what seems like centuries ago.

I became addicted when Yuri first started releasing a beta some (What was it, Yuri? 10? 11 years ago?) time ago.

It's the first thing I install on any pc or laptop. Like, Barcode Nut, I like being organized. And TrueLaunchBar helps keep you organized and your taskbar tidy.

This deal is a no-brainer folks. It's worth every penny of the retail price. At 50% off, it's a steal.

This will be the best ten bucks you ever invested.

I'll end the same way Barcode Nut did too "(I don't work for them...TrueLaunch[Bar] WORKS for me!"

Dennis Johnson Thanks for bringing that up, Yuri. :)

I had forgotten to mention to people that I've never had to pay for an update. This is the only software I know that supports future versions. I really think the developer should make that prominent in the description.

The "Free lifetime updates" makes TrueLaunchBar the most cost-effective tool you can buy. Especially here on BDJ! (Nothing against Bitsdujour - I LOVE this site!) But most specials here are just prior to a new release. And most vendors make you pay to update to a new version. Current version updates are generally free. But not new versions.

Ten bucks for a license that never expires, including future versions, makes this the best deal out there.

DISCLAIMER: I don't work for the company. I simply love the product.

Hans-Peter Guttmann Only 'xplorer2' is as essential to making Windows truly efficient. The versatility and depth of 'True Launch Bar' is stunning. All of Windows settings & controls and all of your Apps and critical folders / templates can be made available off the Desktop but one or two clicks away, organized in a way make that makes sense to you! TLB on a vertically arrayed, hidden Taskbar is extraordinary — on 7, 8, or 8.1 Update.

And, at $10 — if you like 'messing' with Windows — it's an ultimate treat.

In Standalone True Launch Bar, you'll discover an extended auto-hide feature control. Moreover, for Windows 7 the standalone version is the only way to create an external bar beyond the taskbar."

Karl M. I'm a really happy customer for years and can't imagine how to use Windows without TLB and his companion Tordex Wheel. This is an absolut must have and much too cheap for this exceptional application.

Mick Vernon I've been using it for the better part of a decade, it's the first thing I put on a new pc and I'd be lost without it. If you don't have it, you probably should try it.

Mark Johnson Definitely this is a great product; I've been using it a long time and it's one of the first things to get installed to a new computer.

Tortuga Hello Yuri :)
- I see the 'Fine Print' tab text has changed. It now says «... but TLB it may not be used at exactly the same time on each of them.»
- I don't know how is it possible to comply w this directive?!!
If the app is set to launch at Start Up with the OS, how could it not be used at the same time?
I open my PCs/laptops roughly at the same time, they stay open, and I use the nearest one, depending where I am in the house.
So ... it is perplexing !! ;)
Peace

Yuri Kobets @Tortuga, thanks to pointing this out. You are right this is not correct. Personal License is for "person" and can be used on all owned computers at any time. Even when all computers are turned on.

Craig Haywood does this work with Windows 11?

Apparently not. Also seems like some people think it's no longer being developed.

You can read some of the forum comments here:
http://forum.tordex.com/forum-8.html

There is a work-around discussed on the forum site using a program called 'Start Is Back'.

Yuri Kobets True Launch Bar works on Windows 11 in standalone mode (as external toolbar). In the Windows 11 impossible to add toolbars to the taskbar by design. But it is possible to integrate True Launch Bar into the taskbar with some "hacks":

Jonathan Prusky I am not able to download the trial version with Chrome or Firefox, so I went to your website. Is it the same?

geo User @ Yuri Kobets
Can you clarify this point on the licence terms: With the True Launch Bar (Personal License) ($9.95) I can install the software for example on 1 desktop and 2 laptops and use it only myself on all these 3 PCs ?
Do I understand this correctly? OR do I need to buy the home version which allows a total of 4 PCs ? I am going to be the only user of the software, so can you clarify this. Thanks in advance.

Yuri Kobets If you are only who use all 3 computers you need one Personal license only. Personal license is for one person or for one computer by your choice.

William W. User This program was also featured on March 10, 2021.

After I installed (on a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit), it turned out that the program had wreaked havoc with my desktop.
Probabhly because the program's task bar was hogging the top left corrner of the screen, the icon column height was reduuced from 9 to 8, and would not budge from that measly setup.
I probably could have corrercted the situation by uninstalling True Launch Bar. Instead, I ran a system restore which preceded its install.
That solved the problem.

I haven't decided whether I will reinstall (e.g. on a Windows 10 machine) and try running the program again . .. .
