TigerColor problems NOT noticed. WinXP Pro SP2 plus ALL .NET versions installed. Recommend exporting favourites as a .XML file for backup. For me, this is the BEST of the links Widgets!!!

January 08, 2009 · version 3.0Very Nice
JMOxx75I used to group desktop folders to keep my projects separate and while trying to unclutter my desktop I stumbled across customizing themes for xp. The hyperdesk lead me to these widgets. I tried a few other ones that I thought would help me manage my shortcuts and folders but none compare to the ease of this one. The format is intuitive and easy. The best part is if I start something new I can get rid of what i'm not using (shortcut wise) and put in the new with no clutter!

January 22, 2009 · version 3.0Great app.. but I have some issues
I love this application but I have a couple questions/issues.
1. I would like it to attach to the desktop. I use the show desktop button a lot to get to an icon to launch an app. I'd like this widget to be at the desktop level so I can get to it using the show desktop and then launch my app.
2. Some apps won't launch from this app. Microsoft Communicator is the main one. I figure it's evil microsoft problem, but it would be nice if it worked.

October 09, 2008 · version 3.0 RobIm very intrigued by this widget, but I cant figure out how to import my existing favs into the widget. I exported them to a file in my docs, but every time I try to import that file into the widget Im told that its an invalid file... a detailed read me for this would be nice, if possible

KallynI am very OCD. I had this program in the past then after having to completly reboot my computer to factory settings it took me forever to find it again. I Have tried practically every other widget out there for the same uses.. This one is by FAR the best! Thank you so much!
