Thus, it requires next to no system resources and it does not affect your usual working environment in any way.

Quickly reach vital system functions

As far as functionality is concerned, the toolbar contains a wide range of system shortcuts by default, which enable you to quickly access sections like Control Panel or My Computer, without having to clutter your desktop with additional shortcuts or navigate through the start menu. Moreover, you can also activate the “Run” function and execute the desired application or script in a matter of seconds.In order to make the program integrate better with the rest of your desktop, you are allowed to bring almost any kind of modification to its appearance.
