Powerful, Free Tool
Hi Fred, I have been trying out program launchers for some time looking for something that would be easy to use and configure.
My criteria have been 1) hide/show by bumping a desktop edge; 2) Drag 'n drop to add items; and 3) Unlimited submenus.
And the winner is: PowerPro ( http://powerpro.webeddie.com/ ). I am sure you have seen it before and mentioned it in the newsletter. I should say that this program is not for the uninitiated. It is necessary to learn the way configuration fields are laid out and what they do, and there's a lot of detail. I find Powerpro to be very complex. It does offer a lot of configuration options and all kinds of different features.
I think that the configuration interface is a little too fragmented and unstructured. However, having said that, the current version of Powerpro seems a lot easier to use since the last time I was using Powerpro. I have the advantage, though, of having used it before and knowing the paradigm.
Powerpro beat out the following contenders, according to the previously mentioned criteria:
ObjectBar
BarNone
H-Menu 5.0
Hidden Menu
Kana Launcher
Launcher
Menu Toolbox
RocketDock
RunIt
ShortPopUp
TabLaunch
Toolbox
Traybar
yz dock
ZenCODE

Nice find, Steve, thanks. You did a lot of work looking into this, and I bet *many* readers will appreciate it, as do I!
