Quick launch bar with grouping of categories

True Launch Bar aims at making your favourite programs and common tasks accessible from your desktop in a click. This launcher application woos users thanks to a high level of customization and in-depth configuration.

When you install True Launch Bar, you’ll be able to insert a number of plug-ins to quickly access popular programs like Winamp, Media Monkey and for specific tasks like playing a CD, checking your battery or adding a printer. Another nice touch is the ability to set up hotkeys to access your favourite programs in a snap. You can also decide to protect your launch bar with a password if it contains access to sensitive information. While you can get lost in the thorough configuration process, once you’ve got everything in place you should find True Launch Bar to be a convenient tool.

True Launch Bar can be configured to your will and may be placed anywhere on the screen. It can hover on your desktop, hide away or sit in any corner of the desktop. The default style is not particularly attractive but luckily you can change the background colour, adjust transparency, insert original icons or switch to one of the different skins available.

The only drawback to True Launch Bar is that it doesn’t include a quick search tool, which is often found in similar programs and incredibly handy when looking for files. However True Launch Bar makes up for this thanks to its usability and total customization. If you regularly work with loads of applications then True Launch Bar is a good way to access them quickly and to simplify your work process.
