Better than the Control Panel or Start Menu
Using DeskBar, you can access features and functions more quickly than you can through the nested Start Menu items or trying to remember which control panel icon you need to access what you want.
Hidden when not used
The DeskBar toolbar can be automatically hidden, yet still accessible when a function is performed. The hide and show features can be animated so that the DeskBar slides in and out of view.
Access system tools quickly
Whether you want to quickly scan a disk drive, get to settings in your control panel or perform another use of a system tool, you no longer have to navigate through folders or nested popup menus to access what you want. With DeskBar, you have access to all your system tools at the click of your mouse.
Lock your desktop
Secure your PC while you are away - even in Windows 98/ME!
Sound effects
Each action, menu, click and selection has a sound effect. This gives you audible feedback when you are using DeskBar. You may choose to disable this option.
Quick folder access
Access favorite folders without having to navigate through Windows Explorer. How many times have you had to close or move windows to get at the folder you wanted? Even going through the Start Menu is cumbersome to access a folder through the nested menus. Using DeskBar, you can access folders from a single menu - specify the folders you want and arrange them in any order you would like!
