True Launch Bar is a Superior replacement for the standard Quick Launch bar. All functions presented in quick Launch are also in True Launch Bar. However, the True Launch Bar is fully compatible with quick Launch because it uses the same folder for shortcuts. But there is one huge difference. True Launch Bar allows you to combine your shortcuts into groups. This feature looks like popup menus. This vastly improves the management of your shortcuts and save working space on your desktop.
