The latest version of Battery Pack 2003 will do it but you can't "really" customise it that much. Yes, you can customise it but not as much as you'd like to. It's a great program anyway and should be purchased almost as standard.

Try "Launcher". You can find it on the downloads page under desktop.

You can also click here:

I have tried it myself, but deleted soon after. It was a little too awkward for my liking.:crooked:

I like this launcher.

It's the second program on the page. It creates a launcher folder and you can drag shortcuts in there that you want to appear on the today screen.

There are a million launcher apps out there, I recommend doing a search, and checking them out.

I've used tdlaunch (free) and rhinolaunch ($5) and like them both. I gave up on Program Bar, so definitely try the freebies before plunking down big bucks.

Lots of folks use wisbar/icbar, as it does many other things, too.

Many choices, enjoy!

I recommend tdlaunch. It does the job and it's free!

Like derring dodette I've also used tdlauch and rhinolaunch, and I now use rhinolaunch all the time.

But last time I said that there where then loads of other applications listed....so you probably just want to give some a try and see what you like
