Would you believe that my desktop provides instant access to 112
different programs and - as the picture shows - leaves me heaps of
uncluttered room to work in.
Well... it's true!
-
12 programs via Normal icons - most located on left hand side of
screen
-
11 programs via Quick Launch Bar - located on left side of status
bar (near the Start button)
-
22 programs via Notification Bar - located on right side of
status bar
(near the clock)
 
-
67 programs via The ToolBox - located around the top, the bottom
and the right hand side of the screen
Not only that but it's also possible to group your programs by
category.
I made 6 specific groups... the 7th is the standard Windows group
like My Documents, Recycle Bin, etc. Top left hand side
- Internet Tools Group - Dial-Up Connection to my ISP,
Browsers, Outlook Express, FTP programs, and other often used
miscellaneous programs
- Audio Group - Recorder and sound editors
- Apps Group - Power DVD, Nero and other application type
programs
- Web Tools Group - JavaScript Editor, Keyword Analyzers &
other essential tools for building web pages.
- Utilities Group - Windows Explorer, Control Pannel,
Download Manager, WinRAR and other essential Utils
- Graphic Programs - Photoshop, Swish, Camtasia and other
important Graphic tools.
This arrangement helps me to locate the program I want instantly.
Imagine the difficulty of finding - say - the notepad that you know is
located somewhere among more than 100 different icons on the desktop!
Thanks to "The ToolBox" I can now quickly start any frequently used
program and get on with the job without any fuss.
If I want to change the background, no problem. "The ToolBox"
can be made transparent so it will always look good.
"The ToolBox" has many controls that allows you to customize
the final look.
And best of all... "The ToolBox" is completely free! URL link:
