Editor's review of Program Manager XP

• "Program Manager XP"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Program Manager XP 1.1

Offering nothing new under the sun, this application's objective is to give you fast access to your favorite PC locales. Program Manager XP places a dockable toolbar on your screen to provide shortcuts to your most frequently used programs and Web sites. Although it only provides alternative routes to your system's current areas, it questionably eats up nearly 12MB of hard drive space. Its main window is basic in nature and adding your programs, files, and folders is done in a flash. You can instantly manage and add your favorite Web links and configure your system's e-mail and chat settings to easily launch from here too. Shortcuts to the Control Panel, Device Manager, My Documents, and others are readily available from the toolbar and its system-tray icon. Its one-click access to your system's defragmenter and search features are useful additions, as are the handy calendar and event scheduler. Though most of its functionality already is a part of Windows, this program lessens the steps in accessing these areas for XP users.

  Version: Program Manager XP 1.1

  "Top notch concept whose designers need to sit down with users and listen to them"

  by salesguylynn on April 22, 2006

  Pros: Unregistering products is EXTREMELY useful. Multi-disk defrag is NICE. Web links to start browser, shortcuts to usually somewhat obscure XP functions is useful. Chkdsk on boot option is awesome!

  Cons: With my pc time set to current, this program insists it's the year 2021 so setting reminders is risky. The shortcut icons are hard to set up in calendar mode.
