Texan,
Thanks for the introduction to Dialogue Box Assistant. I tried it and registered within a few days - I find it really useful.
I suspect if you tried Power Drawers you'd be equally impressed. Such a pity that TLB and PD can't fully work together without conflicting. The ability with PD to expand any folder (or link thereto) from the context menu and get a cascade of sub-menus is a great time-saver. However despite the conflict I find TLB still worth having, but it would be so much better if Virtual Folders could co-exist properly with PD. As it is, for a PD user, there's not such a big incentive to upgrade from Free Launch Bar. (Except that the price of TLB is commendably low, so it is worth it).
Have you tried PS Tray Factory? That's also a useful application to have. FWIW my list of software that pays for itself in 'time saved while using Explorer' is now (in this order):
No 1: Power Drawers
No 2: True Launch Bar
No 3: Dialogue box Assistant
No 4: Actual Window Manager (Let's you minimise windows to Notification Area [system tray], or force them to stay on top, plus other useful things)
No 5: PS Tray Factory. (Clears out the the Tray, and also let's you minimise windows to Notification Area like AWM, but without the extra refinements).
It's a close call between no 1 and no 2 and I would greatly miss both. If Yuri could resolve the conflict between them it would be fantastic.
David Tong (ever hopeful).
