Ramblings of an old Doc

 

Hey! Great news!!!

Jeff Bargmann’s “Bins” is back on sale for only $0.99 . I have “Bins” and have never had a problem with it even when it was in beta. I can’t tell you how much it has eased my work here, and in organizing my taskbar and desktop. “Bins” has been a major work saving and work flow improvement measure. I can’t understand how Microsoft never thought of this!

“Bins was created from the concept that your programs should be quicker and easier to get to. After having written many application launchers over the years including the Dell Dock for Dell in 2007, it seemed the Windows 7 taskbar was a great step in the right direction, but lacked the power tools needed to get the job done for serious computer users. By allowing you to group programs, and allowing you to access them immediately with a simple mouseover, we think we've created a tool that will drastically improve how you work with your computer.”

Features:

Restore sanity to your Windows 7 taskbar

Combine related icons on your Windows 7 taskbar into “Bins”.
Reduce clutter, and get at your programs quickly.

Super easy

Create a Bin by dragging one taskbar icon on top of another, and dropping into the popup that appears. Ungroup icons by dragging the icon back to the taskbar. No need to open a settings screen; Bins is simple and intuitive.


Instantly accessible

Once combined into a Bin, your icons will appear instantly when you mouse over the group’s icon, for launching or for window-management. Move your mouse away and your Bin will tuck back into the taskbar.


Pin files and folders to your taskbar

Want a favorite folder or document more easily on hand? Bins allows you to pin any file or folder to your taskbar natively.

I have “Bins” and have never had a problem with it even when it was in beta.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it still in beta or did I miss something?

I bought it the first time it was on sale and if you missed it the first time, I strongly suggest picking it up while it's on sale again.

You should check for update CarGuy1. My version is 0.9.8.191

I really enjoy the idea, but after it runs for a while it gives me "Application could not be started" errors with cmd.exe every 10 minutes or so. A big bug is that with Bins activated I am not able to install Microsofts Zune Software update to 4.8. Same error. When I deactivate/uninstall Bins the setup runs flawlessly. So something must be running with bins hindering some apps to run.

Is that fixed ?
