After only a month TLB is indispensable. Apart from the other nice features, I find that the way you can hover the mouse over a Virtual Folder in a pop-up Tool Bar and have the whole menu structure displayed in a cascade really speeds up drilling down to the file you want.
The bad news for me though is that it conflicts with another program called Power Drawers that’s been ‘indispensable’ for four years, and for similar reasons. Like TLB this also displays a whole menu structure in a cascade, but unlike TLB you do it by right clicking on a folder (or link to a folder) anywhere, even within an Explorer window. (See <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dynamickarma.com/powerdrawers.htm">http://www.dynamickarma.com/powerdrawers.htm</a><!-- m -->).
The conflict is this. With PD enabled, the context menu fails for the items in a TLB folder cascade. When you right click an item in a TLB cascade you get just a brief glimpse of something before it disappears and the TLB menu collapses. On the other hand if I disable PD, I can get the context menu for items in a TLB cascade - but then I can’t use PD to expand other folders elsewhere :cry:.
Could you by any chance tweak True Launch Bar so it can peacefully coexist with Power Drawers? The products are complementary and it’s terrible having to choose between them.
Either way, thanks for a great and reasonably priced product.
