I've heard enough good to try again but now when I load the app it pops up with "AppShelf has expired" and goes no further. I've tried deleting the attached prefs but the author must have created another pref file that doesn't clean out with the app when it's deleted. The trouble is, even if I decided to buy I wouldn't be able to enter a reg number! Any ideas? (and I'm not willing to delete my entire pref file just to demo a launcher) Thanks

So by way of that explanation, I could only try the demo if I wipe out all my prefs and start from scratch. "F" that. I'll look at the new zlauncher instead.

The latest version isn't very different from the one you had a look at, so there is a good chance that you would still be underwhelmed! By the way, McFile, his other popular program, has the same limitation. __________________ TH55/H UX50/E TJ35 NX80V/H WL110 MS1GB CF2GB GroupSense Xplore M70 Palm Phone AppShelf, Hi-Launcher, JackFlash, Docs to Go, TakoSche, SmartList to Go, UltraSoft Money, SplashID, SplashShopper, iSilo, SplashPhoto, Natara Bonsai, NeoCal

Do a hard reset. Install AppShelf and some other programs to see how they fit together (no need for data as you only seeing how the launch side of things work). If you like then puy the $12. Restore from backup and install the AppShelfLic.prc. Done
