I have tested a lot of Program LaunchBar's a good portion of them reside in the System Tray. I already have enough stuff in my system tray.

I need a program Launcher Bar, I have tried a lot of these too.
Power Pro is the best and by far the most confusing.

I have a lot of programs, i have 75% of my programs just for graphics. I have another 12.5% for surfing and another 12.5% for other things I do on my PC.

And of course I have to go look for everything.

When I was using Windows ME I had a bunch of folder's in my quick launch 'system tools', 'graphics', 'browsers', 'file commpression', 'audio', 'bookmark cataloging',

It was not the best system but it worked very nicely.
I wanted to re do the Quick Launch bar. But of course in Win ME. You could not do that.
Windows XP Pro, gives you a bit more freedom.

I ran across a shell called Talisman and you could re do the Quick Launch Bar, I have been slowly doing that for the last few years.

Though I really hoping a programmer would create a Program Launch Bar.

Does this make more sense?

That does clear things up a bit. A couple of suggestions are TrueLaunchBar http://www.truelaunchbar.com/ and ObjectDock http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/. I suspect that you will have tried both, but you never know...

Both come in freeware and shareware versions. I've purchased licenses for both but only have TrueLaunchBar installed.

TrueLaunchBar allows you to easily set up folders in your quicklaunch area just as you've described having done in WinME. ObjectDock (and the freeware apps below) lets  you create floating or docked program (or file) launchers and is visually like the Dock in OS-X but is much more configurable. The shareware version (ObjectDock Plus) allows you to set up tabbed docks, which are very convenient for organising your shortcuts. It does all this with a surprisingly small footprint (at or just under 1 meg RAM in my usage). TrueLaunchBar has no footprint at all that I can detect.

Other freeware apps similar to ObjectDock are:

DockEx http://www.dockex.com/
MobyDock http://www.dockex.com/
RocketDock http://www.punksoftware.com/rocketdock

Of these the most similar to ObjectDock Plus is DockEx, which offers the same premium feature of running tabbed docks. CAVEAT: I haven't tried it!

thunder7:
Yes I have tried all the ones mentioned, and have a very large portion as well.

Other freeware apps similar to ObjectDock are:

DockEx http://www.dockex.com/
MobyDock http://www.dockex.com/
RocketDock http://www.punksoftware.com/rocketdock
RocketDock I used but it had lots of bugs.

I have MobyDock but uninstalled it. It got annoying. DockEx same thing got annoying.

I have a lot of the shareware versions and freeware versions mentioned. And a few not mentioned.
None did what I needed them to do.

Darwin:
Hmm... sounds like this is one for coding snacks. Sorry none of those suggestions bore fruit.

Good luck!

thunder7:
I have tried a lot of the every time my friend CoMa (of CoMa Freeware Links) suggests one I go and test it. And when other friends suggest a program I try it too see if it will fit my needs.

Please keep sugesting may there is one I missed, you never know :)
