Interesting move, hope it somehow helps True Launch Bar.

Hello Yuri

I just wanted to say a big thank you for providing v8 for Windows 11 (64) and for all your hard work over the years.  

I've used TLB for more years than I care to remember and despite the taskbar improvements made by Microsoft I still much prefer to use my custom True Launch Bar toolbars.  

Stay well and keep safe and happy. 

Best wishes,

Linda

Hi Yuri,

Спасибо, Юрий. Жалько теперь некуда ввести регистрационный ключ!
Thanks, Yuri. It's a pity now there is no place to enter a registration key now!

Hi Yuri,

I also wanted to say a BIG thank you for providing TLB 8.0 for Windows 11 and for all your amazing work and efforts in supporting us over the years.

I too have been using TLB for many years and despite the many taskbar improvements made by Microsoft, I still much prefer to use my custom TLB toolbar.

I recently upgraded my PC from Win 10 to Win 11, and after a bit of tinkering and learning the new options, I managed to get my good old TLB toolbar up and running, WITHOUT using ExplorerPatcher or StartAllBack etc.

To be honest, I was a little nervous that I would lose my TLB toolbars, but I am happy to say that it's business as usual again. There are a couple of bugs, such as: (1) the Auto-Hide not hiding the toolbar after making changes (the solution is to turn off Auto-Hide then back on), and (2) the toolbar completely disappearing when floating it over the Win 11 toolbar. But hopefully you can squash those issue in an upcoming update.

It would also be great to get some in-app or online help regarding the new options in the Toolbar Properties dialog box.

Thanks again!

PS. And hopefully your "situation" will improve and the world can go back to some degree of normalcy and peace.

I love TLB, is a must have for me; I will donate, but no bitcoin, other ways?, thanks

Thank you Yuri -hoping you all are safe able to make some decisions you feel good about making

Tried d/l version 8.0 for my new computer. Link does nothing.
????????

Why is it that the "Send to Quick Launch doesn't seem to be working?  My "SendTo" shows that it is looking for it, but doesn't find it.  I send iit to the desktop and then cut/paste.

I found a solution: Shortcut to the QuickLaunch folder ("C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch") then you can drag and drop.
