Did it stick?-thefritz_j (December 15, 2006, 01:12 PM)
I have an auto-hiding toolbar with the "Desktop" in it (with my desktop icons hidden) and it is invalulable to me because I don't have to minimize anything to open an app.-thefritz_j (December 15, 2006, 12:23 PM)
Are you saying that I can place hidden shortcuts to every program / website / documnent on the desktop, and they will still show up in this new toolbar?-Curt (December 15, 2006, 12:53 PM)

Without installing any other software you can create an auto-hidining launch bar in Windows XP.Thanks a lot for telling this about XP. I didn't know!-thefritz_j (December 15, 2006, 12:23 PM)
I realize that PowerPro does so many things in so many different ways it is VERY difficult to keep track of what you want to do vs. what can be done, but making a space-saving launcher is easy once you get on the right track. I've been toying with the idea of writing up a PowerPro Mini-tutorial for a few months now, maybe it's getting a bit overdue...Testing PowerPro, I can only say that I sure hope you will write this tutorial-Edvard (December 13, 2006, 03:54 PM)
The only point with this little post is that after mini-testing all these programs, I still like the CustomBar concept better! If only the author would update it-Curt (December 15, 2006, 10:55 AM)
Hi Curt,- "as I myself use it"
I am re-examining CustomBar over the next couple months. I do have a version developed that has tooltips and iTunes support (iTunes requires further testing). At some point this will be released for sure. I do want to keep CB going as I myself use it and I’ve received many e-mails from people wishing further development. I will know more after I’ve re-assessed my businesses however.
Matt
For the record:
DO YOU KNOW of any program like this?-Curt (December 12, 2006, 03:50 PM)
My new favorite launcher!
STabLauncher is a tabbed launcher that resides either on top or bottom of the screen. Mouse over the tabs and they pull down; create as many tabs as you like, in the color(s) of your choice.
I must confess I like this better than Rocketdock, just because the tabs make a lot of sense in terms of organization.
I do have a wishlist for this program, however:
An option to have the tabs disappear altogether until you mouse over them (similar to Rocketdock)
For some reason I was not able to install this in C:\Program files\sTabLauncher. I encountered errors upon launching (yes I did have administrator priviledges), so I had to install it in C:\sTabLauncher instead. Needless to say this has to be addressed.
More skins; I would prefer less of the cutsey colorful tabs and more metallic/modern looking tabs myself.
I’d also like to be able to change settings for all tabs at once, instead of doing it each tab at a time.

PowerPro!

Windows PowerPro is Completely free! No catch!
Windows PowerPro lets you take control of how you use Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP. Run commands and configure your system any way you want. PowerPro gives you a compact and powerful launch bar, menu, and tray icon facility. But this is just the start. With a little experimenting with its configuration, you'll find that you can use PowerPro to change the way you work with your Windows system. The source of its power is the way PowerPro integrates three capabilities: Running commands: Tool bars, tray icons, hot keys, mouse actions, menus, timer, scheduler. Controlling other program's windows: Close, minimize, maximize, roll-up to caption, tray minimize, position. Providing utility functions: Send keystrokes to programs, run commands when windows first open, virtual desktops, clipboard extender, keyboard macros, shutdown, show all folder files in a menu, sounds, wallpaper, and screensaver activation and randomization.-Edvard (December 13, 2006, 03:04 PM)
Well, what springs first to mind is TrueLaunchBar followed closely by mouser's own LaunchBar Commander, then ObjectDock/ ObjectBar/ YZDock and MobyDock/ RocketDock/etc...-Darwin (December 12, 2006, 04:24 PM)
RocketDock is a smoothly animated, alpha-blended application launcher that is similar to ObjectDock. RocketDock renders quickly like MobyDock, has the visual sharpness of Y'z Dock, and the stability that neither seem to possess.
It is compatible with every dock skin format we are aware of. In fact, if you have a skin that doesn't load properly, send it to us, along with a screenshot of what it should look like and we'll see what we can do about integrating the format...
Features:
Compatible with MobyDock, ObjectDock, RK Launcher, and Y'z Dock skins
ObjectDock Docklet support
Unicode compliant
Simple drag-n-drop interface
True multi-monitor support
Supports alpha-blended ICO and PNG icons
Icons zoom and transition smoothly
Auto-hide
Popup on mouse over
Layering options
Horizontal and Vertical offsets
Fully customizable
Runs great on slower computers
Supports many languages and can easily be translated
And best of all...its FREE
Hmm, so what does that mean then..? Outpost is a lier?!-mitzevo (December 07, 2006, 10:24 AM)
It would seem so.
From the page about the leak test:Another important result of our tests is firewall scoring against FPR. FPR stands for Fake Protection Revealer. This leak-test was implemented to reveal cheating on leak-tests. Outpost Firewall PRO 4.0 (971.584.079) was convicted of such cheating. It passes all leak-tests except FPR because of the implementation of user mode hooks (ring3) for security purposes. Our article Design of ideal personal firewall clearly says that ring3 hooks can not be used for security critical features. FPR does nothing but unhooks ring3 hooks which is always possible and thus bypasses such protection. This means that Outpost Firewall PRO cheats to be very strong against leak-tests but in fact it is very weak against real malware.

Curt the biggest problems I have with Outpost 4 are almost constant system instability.-Carol Haynes (December 06, 2006, 02:53 AM)
Do you know of such a program?-Curt (December 05, 2006, 06:32 PM)
I decided to update Outpost to the new version 4.-Carol Haynes (October 03, 2006, 06:00 PM)
would know how to appreciate this very fine tool; the finest firewall you can have for a home PC.
it doesn't work for imagesI can confirm that I two minutes ago created hard links for a jpg and a gif pic, using HardlinkShellExtension.
can anyone confirm that either of these programmes work for them for images or vector files ??-tomos (December 04, 2006, 11:54 AM)
Note: I e-mailed the author of COA2 (Neil Rubenking)
it works fine for him under XP.-Darwin (December 04, 2006, 10:29 AM)
- fine initiative!an interesting suggestion from NOD32 support - switch of the IMON moduleAs it is now, it can't be enabled at all, on a server.
So there you have it - IMON does nothing useful-Carol Haynes (December 03, 2006, 05:08 AM)
I use alax ntfs links, mentioned at the DC thread. It's quite simple to use, basically, it's drag-and-drop.-jgpaiva (December 02, 2006, 11:05 AM)
For a better explanation, look at this thread here at DC, or at this page at wikipedia.-jgpaiva (December 02, 2006, 04:34 AM)
I have not used Application Mover, but I have used other programs by Funduc Software and they are all excellent programs that I recommend often.
