First time I upgraded from the stable version... and I absolutely love it! Great job! . No complications so far...

Not sure what it is but the last beta version was more stable on my system I think now it sometimes freezes all the taskbar... just like some versions many months ago.
...:::My System Info:::...
Windows Version: Microsoft Windows XP Personal version 5.1.2600
Shell Version:6.0.2600.0
Internet Explorer Version: 6.0.2600.0000
TLB version: 2.2.0.5

It still won't automaticaly reconnect to a networked drive when opening a shortcut. (strangely right clicking and selecting 'open' will, I would have thought they did the same thing.)

I'm on Windows 2000 Service pack 3

Yes I still working on this problem.

It gets so huge for sometimes, does not have to be when it is displayig complex menus, just anything and no extra plug-ins.
The newest version is just so huge load on explorer.exe but still I love it.
Perhaps if we could have the menu loaded in memory before, not only for virtual folders but everything for those who have enough of RAM.

True Launch Bar is not huge, in fact it's very small.

The answer is of course if you use lots of fancy graphics in all menu's, complex skins and useless eye candy then it's going to get bigger. I expect you have every folder on your drive setup as a virtual folder forcing True Launch Bar to load every file on your system, that's going to slow you down.

As it stands its a great toolbar with many practical features.

iCAVEIf you update TLB from version 2.2.0.4 then try to delete all tlbdata.xml files from toolbar folder. version 2.2.0.4 has problem with converting tlbdata into new format so maybe this is your case.

One tip about memory: To free some resources after opening huge virtual folders just refresh parent menu, tlb unload all childs virtual folders and frees resources. Also Doug Smith completely right. If you setup BIG overlays images for every menus this will take lot of memory. Some memory can be saved if you turn off the icons on context menu.

I only have one 32x128 png as overlay on every menu.
I have few seperators. almost the same settings as before when it was stable, exept now I haven't installed any plugins... Icon sizes 16x16 - 48x48 and on the media menu 128x128...
I have seperate TLB toolbars, on both sides of the taskswitcer and one special for my TV that has 2 virtual folders, 1 for music and 1 for video, when I press a button on my remote I will get a menu with movie genere and then list of all my movies, because of apperant resons I don't turn on the thumbnails ??? That menu is set with LARGE fonts and takes horrible long time to load on my PC, still that couses my PC not to stop responding like described later.
The most simple menu of them all causes my PC to stop responding, it's the program launcher. it has 1 png, 2 seperators, about 6 menus with some sub menus and one of them with virtual folders for my work & files. Almost the same as it was before this version of TLB but now it slows down almost randomly. when it happens usually explorer.exe just stops responding but I can bring up the task manager to kill explorer, then I start explorer again and everything is back to normal, sometimes it even does not bring up taksmanager on heavy loads.
No I'm not using any other programs that attach themselves to explorer.exe, I know so because TLB is the first program I installed after I formatted 2 days ago and ofcourse ran windows update before...

Perhaps this is something like the right click bug that many AMD users have needed to suffer in WinXP...

Anyway I'll try youri's suggestion when I come back from work.

Since upgrading to version 2.2.0.5 beta Mail Monitor has been unstable.

If I RC on an incoming mail and choose to ‘create filer condition’ Mail Monitor will often freeze up for a long time. Sometimes it will crash Explorer.exe.

I think there is a conflict between version 2.2.0.5 and the current version of Mail Monitor.

cmishima is this happens every time or sometimes?

Please can you send me header of email and tell me what field and filtering functuon do you use?

This now happens with every new mail I choose to make filter from.

I usually make filter on SUBJECT field and sometimes on RECEIVED field.

I will setup to Mail Monitor to capture entire header and send to you.
