Hi Chris,

I came across this list of toolbar program launchers in the DonationCoder’s Launchbar Commander app’s help file (under “Related Programs” and thought you might be interested. Note Microsoft Research’s entry, “Groupbar.” As you know, I’m very interested in a lot of features of program launchers, like auto-hide docks, drag-n-drop add, and definitely submenus. I used to rely on PowerPro, but I found it kind of unwieldly and hard to work with. Launchbar Commander fits the bill but I need to learn more about how to configure it.

BTW, there is a nag that you have to sign up for its forum and download a free license to avoid.
