I just downloaded the CastleBar program and it's just what I've been looking for.

It's small enough to fit on your title bar, out of your way. It's easy to configure. I use it editing my website where I constantly open different programs.

I used to put a shortcut on my desktop to open these programs, but that is a hassle. With CastleBar, I can configure it to open WS_FTP, HTML Aide and ClipQuik (tools I use to edit web pages), and all without closing or minimizing my work. Like I said, I just downloaded it, so I'm giving it the test run right now. I also find it handy reporting spammers. I use a program called Spam Punisher and I have also configured it into the Castlebar along with Visual Trace. I also have PowerDesk configured into CastleBar. So there are six programs that I use quite frequently, configured to sit "always on top", using a very small part of my screen. A real good idea for people that want their utilities to be handy, eliminating lots of extra work. You can also drag this to another convenient spot, not restricting the use just to the title bar area.

Something else that I like is the 30 day trial. I've downloaded software that didn't work, but was forced to pay first. I NEVER do this anymore! I've even had demos work, but when you purchase the fully functional version, it DOESN'T work. I will purchase this software because it is fairly priced and seems to fit all of my needs.
