Does anyone use TabLaunch Pad?

January 2, 2003 11:32 AM from

I was browsing Stardock's site and came across the TabLaunchPad program. I haven't seen it used much around here. It seems similiar to NextStart's Workshelf.

Is it like the forgotten step child of Object Desktop?

I use it every day. It is part of ObjectDesktop, but unlike most of the programs, it is not independantly skinnable. It gets skinned by WindowBlinds instead. I've only seen screenshots of Workshelf, but it does look very similar. I run dual monitors at work and keep TabLaunchPad on my second monitor along with Outlook, WinAmp, and SysMetrix. That way I can keep my main monitor clear for work space.

TabLaunchPad has been around since Object Desktop for OS/2 (the original Object Desktop). It is *extremely* useful for organizing shortcuts (saves a lot of clutter on the desktop). It is considered as one of the utility programs of Object Desktop versus one of the customizable apps.

TabLaunchpad is probably the best part of Object Desktop.
It is very similiar to the Microsoft Office bar but much better.
