True Launch Bar 5.4

True Launch Bar is a superior replacement for the standard Quick Launch bar. All functions presented in Quick Launch are also in True Launch Bar. However, the True Launch Bar is fully compatible with Quick Launch because it uses the same folder for shortcuts. But there is one huge difference. True Launch Bar allows you to combine your shortcuts into groups. This feature looks like popup menus. This vastly improves the management of your shortcuts and save working space on your desktop. By using True Launch Bar, you speed up the launching of your applications like never before.

Works great under Vista, Vista-64 and XP. This is a very solid product. Lot's of add-ins, but don't be distracted, the core features are tremendous. I use it with no add-ins and I am happy with its very functional features. None, Zip, Zero It plays nicely with your system. You can turn it off and on as easily as you can the standard Windows Quick Launch bar. This is well worth the $20. I'm a big fan of freeware, but a nominal fee is worth it for a quality product. The product key system is no hassle.

True Launch Bar is easy to setup and use. Suitable for any type of user and customizable. Simple yet advanced. Makes users productive and efficient. There is no other product like it in the market. It delivers what it promises and is reliable. There is nothing to not like about this program. Sure Windows has a quick launch feature but needless to say there are many shortcomings in it ranging from ease of use to extremely basic and limited in capability. Quick launch is supposed to enable a user gain efficiency in running (usually) most frequently used programs or applications. But not only is it very cumbersome to use, Windows quick launch is limited in capability. The shortcuts in Windows quick launch cannot be organized. Quick launch is not customizable. It is not skinnable. It cannot be made more advanced. But, one need not be disheartened because there is a solution ? a perfect solution to this problem ? a perfect replacement for Windows quick launch. It is True Launch Bar. Now don?t be mistaken there may be other software vendors who advertise a startup launcher but those programs are no where near True Launch Bar when it comes to competing with it. Plus those programs are not true replacement of Windows quick launch. They are simply Windows quick launch in disguise. Those programs are akin to old wine in new bottle. True Launch Bar has many advanced and superior features than the standard quick launch and rival quick launch programs. All of the features are geared to make the computer users life easy, efficient, and productive. Take for example the simple concept of grouping and organizing shortcuts. If you have many shortcuts instead of having a long list of shortcuts, you can group the shortcuts in True Launch Bar for quick access and sensible organization of shortcuts. True Launch Bar drastically cuts down the time it takes to locate and run a shortcut. I believe this is one of the greatest strengths of True Launch Bar. Another extraordinary feature of Tr

TLB supplements the Windows taskbar with an infinite number of toolbars that can be placed anywhere on the screen (autohide optional). The toolbars and the subsidiary menus and items can be precisely tweaked. The author swiftly answers questions. The version that integrates with the Windows taskbar seemed a bit troubled on Windows 7, but the "standalone" version of TLB works great on Windows 7. I would never try to make a Windows toolbar again. TLB is infinitely easier and more powerful. I am surprised that Bill Gates has not bought out Yuri, the author.
