Free Launch Bar
The Quick Launch bar, which was gotten rid of in Windows 7, was many people's best friends on Windows. It provided quick access to tons of programs, and was a great little organizational tool. Although it may be gone, however, you can still get it back with additional features with Free Launch Bar.With Free Launch Bar, you can do all the usual Quick Launch stuff: launch apps, make folders, etc. However, FLB also allows you to edit various properties of the bar: should it just be icons? Just text? Both? You can decide. You can also set up various hotkeys for each item that allow you to launch them even quicker.
Free Launch Bar is a nice little tool if you want your classic Quick Launch bar back, and brings even more to the table.
