Working great on Windows 7 Beta, too. (02/03/2009)
I have used this gadget also on windows vista and it was great. I tried it on Windows 7 beta and it is working great. The only thing it requires is easier shortcut organizing. I give up dock applications after I started using this. Nice work!

Great Gadget (22/07/2009)
Just what I needed. I have a small problem with it. If you add a folder to the gadget you cannot add anything else until you remove the folder. Also shortcuts to Control Panel programs pick up the wrong icon. Using Vista X64.

It would be awesome if you had a mouseover effect that made the icons zoom like the Mac OS quicklaunch or the object dock.

Hate it
I give up (01/03/2009)
I have tried for hours and days to get this to work for me, reading help blogs and everythin, and I give up. I'm really sorry I spent all that time. Key programs and files, the main reasons for me wanting to use this, would either not attatch, or would disappear at any time. Also, anytime you install a MS operating system function, it shows up with the same icon, and I could find no way to change icons. I had three duplicates when I gave up... there would have been more. Not so critical, but still and issue; You can (ostensibly) click and drag items on to the gadget, but I could not reverse the operation if I changed my mind. There are round-a-bout ways of doing this, but it was just another part of my overall irritation. I think that's it.

I love it (20/02/2009)
I really love it, no more rocketdock and icons! Quick Launch is awsome! It even can be organized with dividers! How cool is that?!? Only 1 thing, when I put Ad-Aware and Malware bytes' on, it glitches. Every shortcut dissapears and it's weird. Also some Vista shortcuts like WMM and Chess do not show X's. I really love it but with those fixes, It will be perfect!

Doesn't work (18/02/2009)
From other comments it would seem some people are having some luck with this, but not me. It won't allow drag and drop, the flyout doesn't stay open. Even the presets and update button don't do anything. This is version 1.0 so hopefully the author with get it fixed.

Simple but good (15/02/2009)
Nothing much more to say really. Just an alternative to quicklaunch bar.
