There's a new desktop bar from JRiver that gives you quick access to your music, files, programs, and lots of other useful stuff at any time.

The latest version of the JRiver Deskbar can be downloaded here:
<download removed until compatibility with MC 10 is fixed>

Update 7 Changes / Improvements:
1. NEW: Deskbar can search and launch internet favorites.
2. NEW: Deskbar can search for files inside of My Documents and launch them.
3. NEW: Deskbar can search for programs in the Start Menu or QuickLaunch bar and start them.
4. NEW: New help dialog displayed on first run or when typing ? and then enter.
5. NEW: Deskbar requires registration after 30 days of use. ($4.98 registration fee)

Installation:
1) Run the installer from above.
2) Right-click on taskbar / start menu area and choose Toolbars > JRiver DeskBar (some computers may require a few clicks or a restart for this to show up)
3) Turn off the system clock to save space since the JRiver bar doubles as a clock.  Right click on the clock, choose "Properties", then "Show the clock".

Uninstallation:
1) Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > JRiver Deskbar

Usage:
Select the search box. Type ? and press enter.  Instructions will appear.

Enjoy

Works with v 11?

[Matt]

Works with v 11?

Yes -- you need at least MC 10.0.34 or any MC 11.

Thank you Matt.
I just left v 10 behind and wait for v11 in Beta though it seems to be pretty stable already.

I encountered the same problem Mike Noe did.  
Any suggestions?

[Matt]

It looks like it won't work without the latest MC 11.

We'll try to get it fixed tomorrow.  Sorry for the hassles.

I had an Run time error the first time I started my pc after installed Deskbar.
