CastleBar
CastleBar 2.17.2 is a powerful yet simple toolbar menu to allow you to quickly launch applications or open folders. Keep it out of the way in the titlebar area or let it float wherever you want it. Use the images built in to programs or use your own bitmaps on buttons. CastleBar is easy to configure and easy to use. Quickly add new buttons and configure them to behave the way you want them to. You can even temporarily disable buttons if you don't want them to appear on the tool bar now, but may want them back later at the click of a button. There are times when you want to open a different file with the same program. Adding a separate button would take up valuable space on the screen, so CastleBar allows each button to be configured with multiple parameters. When you click the toolbar button, CastleBar drops down a list of your configured parameters and allows you to choose one. Our Review: CastleBar is an excellent launcher pad to the likes of MS Office toolbar. Very easy to use. You can add any button you want to to launch through this bar. Very good for apps that are often launched. It uses the default icon provided for that particular app but you can change it to your liking. CastleBar doesn't seem to use a lot of resources so its perfect for those busy desktops. Although quite cheap, users of Win98 and above does have a quicklaunch bar along side the taskbar which is also customisable. New toolbars can also be created to suit your needs. This questions the use of this app...unless you run plenty of programs at one time and would like your taskbar to be cleaner.
