6.0 (Jun 19, 2012)
This much more than just a launcher.
I can see CPU usage, network usage, drive activity, etc. at all times.
Unlike gadgets that get hidden when running apps, this info can be displayed at all times on the bottom bar.
On my laptop, I also find it useful to have a volume control slider handy.
Show battery status, key state or many other options.
The launcher is merely just one of many functions this is capable of performing.
3.0.315 (Aug 16, 2011)
Despite what some of the self-proclaimed "experts" claim, I find the utility indispensable for my setup. It does what it is designed to do very well and unobtrusively.
I run Win7 Ultimate but also have a couple of older start-up apps that don't always behave when they start right away. By delaying them a few seconds, they work perfectly.
On my laptop, I might delay my email checker a few to allow the wi-fi to connect.
It may not be for everyone, but why slam the program because you don't need it? I find it very useful.
It does what it claims, it's updated frequently, it's free, and deserves 5 stars..
5.4 (May 14, 2007)
5.4 is now Shareware.
It's a very good app, but there are other good freeware utilities out there if you just use this occasionally. Price dropped this from a 5 (excellent) utility to a 3 (value).
4.0 (Mar 24, 2007)
If you have v3, KEEP IT!
This version is bad. The widgets do not reload in the same location, if they show at all.
