True Launch Bar is a superior replacement for the standard Quick Launch bar. All functions presented in Quick Launch are also available in True Launch Bar. True Launch Bar is fully compatible with Quick Launch since it uses the same folder for its shortcuts. Still, there is one huge difference, True Launch Bar allows combining your shortcuts into groups, which appear as popup menus. This vastly improves your shortcut management capabilities and saves work space on your desktop. By using True Launch Bar, you speed up launching your applications as never before.
True Launch Bar offers many flexible settings. You may configure it just any way you like. The "Auto popup menus on mouse over" option (with customizable timing) lets you run shortcuts within a single click. Large icons will make your work more comfortable on the high resolution screens. Finally, the unique "Run shortcuts on mouse over" option allows running your shortcuts without even clicking on them.
True Launch Bar fully supports the Windows' Drag-n-Drop technology. You can easily create new popup menus by simply right-clicking on True Launch Bar and selecting Create menu. Having created the new menu, you can simply drag the shortcuts to this new submenu.
Use hotkeys to launch applications with True Launch Bar. Adding separators to True Launch Bar will help you group shortcuts within a menu and on the toolbar.
Control Panel, Printers, Network... or any other folder, now you can place them to True Launch Bar. Simply right-click on the toolbar space, select New and create a Virtual Folder. You can control items inside the Virtual Folders by using the shortcut menu, just like in the Explorer window. Try right-clicking on a printer and selecting Properties. Here you are!!! Add your Favorites folder to True Launch Bar and if you add or delete a link within Favorites, the change will take effect in True Launch Bar also.
