User Reviews

  • LOVE THIS TOO.
  • It was good, if it had ability to appear only when I move mouse to the side of the screen - like in windows 8 desktop. And auto hide, when I move mouse cursor away from launcher.
  • now simple my most used freeware program.
  • This application has allowed me to clean up my desktop, which is a big deal to me. I have not found any other app that was this efficient, and I've tried quite a few, I can finally get away from a folder full of shortcuts and a separate folder full of scripted admin shortcuts.
