While the sTabLauncher enables users to effortlessly maintain a clutter-free desktop by organizing files and icons, its lack of hot key functions is disappointing. The program has a neatly designed, user-customizable tabbed interface that can contain as many icons as you want for each tab. You can create an unlimited number of tabs and design them with different icons, specify foreground and background colors, and set its transparency. The program supports drag-and-drop functionality to quickly add items into each tab. Opening programs, Web pages, and folders from the tabs proved to be quick and effective during our tests. Unfortunately, unlike similar apps, sTabLauncher doesn't include hot key features to quickly select the tabs. Even so, we still recommend this freeware to any user who wants to maintain a clutter-free desktop.

Does the Job!
IKTHUSRJDJuly 28, 2013
Pros
Keeps all the icons that would ordinarily clutter the desktop, out of the way until they are needed. Then a simple click and everything that I need is right where I want it. Very useful. Have enjoyed it now for over two years. I especially like the choice of skins; the scroll is my favorite.
Cons
Since I've had no problems with it to date, I can think of nothing that place a "con" beside it.
Summary
It's always interesting reading the likes and dislikes that programs engender. I could understand many of them if they were paying for the program such as this one, but this is free and does just exactly what it says it will do. So where's the legitimate gripe? Well, that's human nature.

Pros
absolutely none.
Cons
Installs Babylon Mal ware even if you uncheck it. Then spend hours trying to get rid of it. Just to have it frigging reinstall at next boot.

SENSUAL24April 28, 2008
Pros
Easy to add tabs and add program shortcuts to them.
Cons
I don't like the variety of colors and sometimes it can take awhile for it to show itself when you hover over it.
Summary
Attractive design, easy to use
Divine ComedianFebruary 24, 2008
Pros
Very easy to add tabs, and application shortcuts to those tabs. Attractively designed, plenty of opportunities to custom design it to your particular taste.
Cons
The only slight frustration is that there is sometimes a lag in getting the tab bar to pop out, if this could be overcome then it would be a 5 star program.
Summary
Awesomely Small Fast Stable & Useful.

Summary
A Great Software
sotplugJuly 28, 2007
Pros
I sign up here just so that I can give this great tool a 5 stars. (I'd been a regular at download.com some years.) A great useful tool. I did not have the 'always on top' problem. Easily customizable to completely hide the tabs, time delay for the tabs to show/hide etc... I just love this app. Thanks!
Cons
I never really like software to be dependent on the .NET framework. Speed is one of the first thing that comes in mind. But still, that is just a very small problem for sTabLauncher due to it's small footprint.
Summary
Looks great, stays on top of all windows
meloheatMarch 3, 2007
Pros
you can store all your icons under different tab. gives your desktop a cleaner look, less cluttered. Looks great!!! You can customize it to your likes, except:
Cons
Stays on top of anything you open. You open explorer, it's on top of it, hides the top bar of explorer. Open any app, it's on top of it. Wouldn't be a problem if you can customize this part, but you can't.
Summary
SUPERBLY DONE!
RedripperFebruary 12, 2007
Pros
By Far the easiest launcher app to install and set up. All shortcuts worked fine once dragged to their respective tabs, except MS Office and those were very easy to get working by using the properties option to point the shortcut to the correct cmd. The program offers highly customised tab , color , icon and font options to name a few. It can be docked at the top or bottom of the screen with different sizes and opacity. I tried nearly every launcher program I could find and this one has it all at NO COST.
Cons
NONE WHATSOEVER!
