Auto Refreshing Menus?

Where is the TODO list located?

On my computer But you can also add there items: http://www.truelaunchbar.com/sugbox/

When you hover over the start button it changes color, clicking gives you the sensation of a button and hovering over folders or other possible selections in the start menu auto expands the branch to view sub-folders and files.

This behavior depend of skin you used. If yu select no skin then TLB works like Quick Launch. The skin can change this behavior.
