Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Any better alternative software available for the (Taskbar) Quick Launch?

Thanks for any replies.

Thanks for the reply. My Quick Launch bar is full & it's not easy and
complicated to launch programs now. I am looking for a software similar to
Quick Launch (wish to launch programs with mouse not keyboard) and it should
not take up the desktop space. There is any such program available?

Note that although the Quick Launch Bar is on the taskbar by
default, it doesn't have to be there. You can drag it off the
taskbar and put it elsewhere, for example on another side of the
screen.

So "filling up the taskbar" is not necessarily a consideration.

Many thanks Ken. I never knew it. This is what I wanted.
