Destroy QuickDesktop

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

This easy-to-use application lets you create shortcuts for your programs and favorite URL links. Destroy QuickDesktop creates a neatly designed toolbar preloaded with a multitude of icons arranged in categories such as Useful Tools, Windows Folders, and My Category. Useful Tools provides access to shutdown functions, cache cleaners, and the Control Panel. Windows folders include My Documents, the Start menu, and computer drive access. You'll find Notepad and Destroy QuickDesktop in My Categories, but a simple drag and drop lets you easily add shortcuts to any category. The useful QuickSchedule feature allows you to set a schedule for launching an item on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Password protection is offered as well. First-time users will appreciate the available tool tips and extensive help file. This freeware application is suitable for any user looking for a way to organize and launch nearly any file, folder, or program.

    "to small icons, high flexibility"

    July 24, 2007  |   By rubilar

    Version: Destroy QuickDesktop 1.1

    Pros

    interesting settings as transparency and snaps. really free. Very flexible and easy interface, to meet any requirement.

    Cons

    I would like to put larger icons, also in other formats as jpeg. So the bar could be easier to reach and save more time.

    needs more clicks I would like, because of the categories display format.

    Needs to be related to a shortcut to really save time if your dont want to call it with your mouse everytime you need it, other way you should have it always in top of the screen.
