More Reader Suggestions Re: Launchers & Toolbars
Program launchers and toolbars ( http://langa.com/newsletters/2006/2006-05-15.htm#7 and http://langa.com/newsletters/2006/2006-05-11.htm#4 ) must be a hotter topic than I realized--- we're still getting good mail on the subject:
Hi Fred, I used to have tool bars stacked up to four levels deep with icons from the many programs recommended by you. And getting to be rather unwieldy to organised over the years. But with tabbed tool bars in the free Jet Tool Bar from http://www.cowonamerica.com/download/jettoolbar.html, the icons could be categorised neatly into one row of tabbed tool bars. Those of your readers who find the PowerPro program launcher too complex to setup would love this one. Regards,
johnHi again, Fred, I want to let you know about a program that I would recommend as an easier alternative to the complexities of the Powerpro program launcher+. It is called "Free Launch Bar" ( http://www.freelaunchbar.com/ ), and it enhances the Windows Quick Launch toolbar slightly. It would be good for beginners and as a helper for more experienced PC users. It offers a subset of their commercial product, "TrueLaunch Bar". The most useful features are added context menu options when you click on the toolbar, including automated creation of submenus via "New" on the context menu, automated creation of shortcuts to items on the menu, and a program settings configuration option. Everything else is mostly GUI esthetics. I have had problems with the Windows taskbar getting jumbled up (I also have the language bar going), but it seems better if I put the language bar in front of the Free Launch Bar toolbar. I hope this is just a problem on my system. Best regards ---Steven Groginsky
