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...

-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.

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.
