718988 2008-11-09 02:55:00 hey i use the sidebar gadget " SideLaunch " . its pretty simple but does what i want it to.

only thing is that it resets itself to default settings on restart, it reads from the quicklaunch folder but you can change it to read from whatever folder of shortcuts you like, just doesnt stick to it

can anyone suggest a change in the java below thatd lock the folder to C:\Quicklaunch <-- that being the folder i use for shortcuts, also make it so it doesnt round corners by default
