True Launch Bar is a file management software designed to enhance the Windows operating system. Its expandable menus and switching toolbars provide easy access to files and applets, while its polished interface adds a touch of elegance to the user experience.
One of the major advantages of True Launch Bar over Quick Launch is its system of shortcuts that distinguishes it from other software. The shortcuts are arranged in menus, similar to folders in the Explorer window. The menus are displayed on the taskbar alongside other icons, and you can set them to display the details and thumbnails of each item. You can easily make any existing folder into a menu or group files together and put them under separators. The predefined folders feature allows you to convert My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, and more into menus.
True Launch Bar has a switching toolbar system that allows you to change the choice of shortcuts with the change of an active application. This feature comes in handy when you use extra resources while working with MS Office. You can create a special toolbar with shortcuts to all the resources, and they will appear in the taskbar every time you launch an Office applet.
Besides offering comfort of use, True Launch Bar also adds a touch of elegance to your system. You can dress up the taskbar with overlay images and skins, customise its colour scheme, and add gradient and transparency effects. The software comes with plug-ins that equip your taskbar with a news reader and the weather forecast. You can monitor resources and network activities, access the address book, and control media playback right from the taskbar. The Tordex website has over a score of useful plug-ins available for download.
In conclusion, True Launch Bar is a software that you ought to relish. Its impressive features, such as the system of shortcuts, switching toolbar system, and well-designed plug-ins, promise to enhance your taskbar and give you the best experience possible.
