Pros

Cons
Summary
Use Quick Launch

Pros
Cons
This program does not seem to be different from the Quick Launch task bar that comes with Windows. Using the Quick Launch task bar does not use memory.
Summary
Can't Uninstall the Trial Version
karmologyclinicJuly 10, 2007
Pros
Nice, easy and low on resources but...
Cons
WARNING. I upgraded from an earlier version and now I want to uninstall the trial version but I can't. It keeps popping up the registration form a couple of times, then it pops up the program and then the uninstallation process freezes and it can close only by ending the task at the task manager. VERY ANNOYING. I tried many things to uninstall it but I had no success till now.
Summary
I love this program
rokalilbitJune 19, 2007
Pros
I tried at least a half dozen launcher programs (some of them not free), but this one is the best I've found. It is easy to set up, easy to configure, easy to customize, and easy to use. It doesn't look cheesy like some launchers, and it doesn't take up a lot of room on your screen like some of the huge bar-type launchers. You can get to practically anything with just one mouse click or two at the most. You can't drag and drop items, but you can right-click on a file that you want to add, and it will give you the option of sending it to LaunchOnFly, a really cool feature I haven't seen in other launchers. LaunchOnFly has all the essential features I was looking for, and more are promised in future versions, although I don't see how it could get much better. Give it a try, its free!
Cons
No help files yet, but they say they are coming soon. I didn't really need any anyway, it is easy to figure out.
Summary
Very good program for sorting your apps for quick access!

Pros
Quick and Easy to setup.. a breaze to run!
Cons
Would be nice if you could lanch some of the programs by hotkeys.. instead i need another piece of software to do this.
Summary
Great alternative easy to use

Pros
Quick setup love that there are multiple ways to access the menu, ie shortcut keys, mouse toggle, and hover at a set point of the screen. Or you can just click on the app as well. Just click on some of your most used programs or apps and go send to and then to on fly. Can save on desktop clutter.
Cons
Not the best appearance, and i guess skins or something would be nice, but you get what you pay for, and this is free, so dont complain.
Summary
Best I have found!
This Just InJune 2, 2006
Pros
Great interface, nice format, generally I like everything about it. This program is absolutely FREE no cost whatsoever, no 30-day trial. I have seen a lot of programs where they say "free" and turns out they're really not. <p> <p>I love this program because, unlike most "launchers", which launch nothing but worms and spyware, it doesn't contain viruses. <p> <p>Pretty easy to use, anyone can use it, but just for a little help with some of the more clueless people... <p> <p> <p>Shortcut=launch program, open recycle bin, etc. <p> <p> <p>Separator=grey line in between shortuts/folders. <p>Folder=sub-menu which can contain Shortcuts, Separators and more Folders. <p> <p> <p>I hope this program helps you launch stuff easier, after all, it is a launcher. =]
Cons
This program, like rokalilbit said, does not have help files, but, like him (again), didn't need any. I also don't especially fancy the logo thingy.

Beats similar launchers, and its free!
