Tab Launchpad starts very slow

Tab Launchpad (15 tabs, on average 12 entries per tab) starts very slow. Windows7 as such starts quite fast.

from Stardock Forums

Since the days of OS/2 I already use Object Desktop, but only 2 parts of it.

When I switched to Windows I once bought Object Desktop (no yearly updates) and like in OS/2 I only use ControlCenter and Tab Launchpad (TabLaunchPad.exe - Version 1.1.0, Build 381 - 2003).

I have no problems with the ControlCenter, but the Tab Launchpad (in Windows7) takes ages to start, although when it finally does, it works flawless but I nevertheless wonder whether there is a newer version ?

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

Now that is a blast from the past... I am afraid that app is no longer offered or supported.

Hi Basj and Sean,

Thanks for your feedback.

BTW, when I started using Tab Launchpad, it was not called an 'app' yet :-)

And yes, it's an old program, but it must have been pretty good when is was ported from OS/2 to Windows, because it is still working, albeit as I said, a bit slow (startup is 77 seconds).

Thanks, Klaas
