hmm... I have just tested both Right Click Enhancer and Notepad++, and it turns out that the "Notepad++"-option in the above picture of a context menu is not from RBSoft's application, as I expected it to be, but from Notepad++ itself! So all you should do is to re-install (a new version of) Notepad++ , and you will have the entry you were asking for!

@Contro, you might want to re-study App103's post

Yes, I am running XP with classic theme there, (...) ...just unlock your taskbar and drag it to the side and stretch it.

Edited: What happened to the beginning of my post???!!
I must try once more:
-------------------

First a question: Are all the PROYECT folders the same PROYECT folders every time?

If they are the same again and again, you will benefit greatly from using Quizo QTTabbar. Firstly, it gives tabs to your normal Explorer, so you only will need a single Explorer window. Secondly, QTTabbar can automatically rename ambiguous tabs for you (not rename the folders, of course, but the tabs). And thirdly, you can add these folders as favorites, so they always open in the same order, making it even more easy to remember which is which. Fourthly, you can add Groups, so you don't need to open all the various Favorite folders, when you don't need them.

If they are not the same folders again and again, QTTabbar will still be good, just less awesome.



-------

And now you have posted some more, before I posted this. Well, I am not going to change my post anyway. In my opinion, QTTabbar is a better solution. I have been using it since Win 2000.

edit2: oh, yeah, a link: http://sourceforge.n...t/projects/qttabbar/

General Software Discussion / Re: True Launch Bar v6

« Last post by Curt on June 30, 2012, 05:17 PM »

Version 6 was launched less than a fortnight ago:

6.0 June 19 2012

What's new: http://www.truelaunc...bar.com/history.html

    Added "show/hide caption" caption button.
    Added separate option "Show menu caption" for torn off menus.
    Added hotspot near/far margins.
    Show/hide menu caption via context menu.


Fixed:

    Incorrect menu position on vertical toolbars.
    Toolbar size is calculated incorrectly.
    Toolbar width is too large for newly created toolbars on the taskbar.
    Incorrect menu items height in the preview window.
    Incorrect slide effect for menus with 3 columns.
    Right-arrow key is not working on the toolbar.
    Auto-load option is not working for menus more then first level.
    Torn Off menus are always on top on first open, even the "Always On Top" option is turned off.
    Icon Sizes were not saved.

On another but related topic:

For now, I've elected NOT to install under Win 7 (though I did update my XP install). I'm trying to go minimalist at the moment...

-Darwin (October 12, 2010, 04:05 PM)

-so am I. Via tough decisions, I have reduced the number of installed programs, to 347... I really don't understand how you have managed to go below 200, Darwin.

-Curt (October 12, 2010, 04:32 PM)

I have now been running 64-bit Win 7 for 4 months,
and I am so far merely at 141 installed programs!!

True Launch Bar is of course one of them.

-I tried it just a little today, because of yesterday's update. During first launch (portable 64 bit version) I asked for hotkeys a la Windows (F5=refresh, etcetera), but the GUI was their private setup (F5=Copy, etcetera) all the same. When I then opened the otherwise brilliant Button Editor, it asked me to click the button that I wanted to edit, but stayed in front of the buttons! => I had to first grap and move the editor's window, before I could use it.

This was all I got to try, before I was called away. Still, I want to test it more thoroughly tomorrow; despite these minor "errors", the program looks very capable.
