Rocket Launcher??

Do you mean RocketDock (rocketdock.com)?

I don't know, and haven't found a 'Rocket Launcher'.

Lashiec:
Erm... yeah, RocketDock :-[

There are several things that "annoys" me about VSM.  It probably is customizable but for me it would take way to long to get it to something more to my liking. 

The all black background.
different default order than the default XP start menu.
I don't find it easier to remember where things are at in VSM.

One of things I did like was the search bar.

In the mean time, I will keep trying the Launch Bar Commander unless I can find something else that strikes my fancy.

Darwin:
Fair comments, Dave. VSM is/was supposed to get skinning, but I don't think it's yet been implemented. You can get the XP start order by right clicking and selecting "sort by type and name" and de-select "keep the positions". What this does is effectively turn it into XP's start menu tweaked - it's bigger and you've got the search bar plus the keyboard shortcuts.

techidave:
I will give your tweaks a try the next time I am on that particular computer.
