Quick Launch Menu

[Sir Topham Hatt]

Hi all.

Take a look at THIS DESKTOP. Yo can see the dude has a quick launch thing?

Can I have something like that?

Basically, just something that is on the deskop, that I click, and then a right-click-type-menu comes up and allows me to launch any programs from a specified folder.

Thanks,

Pete

I don't know what he is using but Powerpro (freeware) can do that and a whole lot more.

Just took a look at it, and it doesnt look okay.

Seems a little, strange, made for old systems, and also it wants to replace a system file, which I am not soo sure about either.

Basically, I am after something like, Object Dock, sort of.

I don't think that menu is the context menu of the destop. I think it's just a new toolbar created from the taskbar. Try this:

Right-click on taskber> toolbars> new toolbar> Point it to a folder with programs shortcuts.

Then drag the toolbar the destop. Right-click on it and choose to display text. E.g. I did the above and got this on my desktop:
