Very Best of the FREE Windows XP Program Launchers

There are any number of FREE program or application launchers for XP. You can have them in the system tray. You can launch from Open / Save dialog boxes. Keep 'em on hotkeys like Launchy (shown above left),

replace Quick Launch with the Free Launch Bar,

replace the Start Menu itself with the Vista Start Menu (no relation to the Longhorn OS)

or even the Task Bar with ObjectDock




They are fun. They are useful...sometimes. I like 'em. Shucks, I even use a couple of 'em. But they aren't necessary. Windows XP (or any version that included Internet Explorer, IE)comes with the little understood, even less used Links subfolder of Favorites. see next post
