If we are users who are used to working with many applications and folders on our computer, it is possible that on more than one occasion we have despaired of looking for an application for not having it well at hand. To help us make work easier and always have the most used files and programs accessible, we can use a tool like TurboLaunch , which we are going to talk about today.
Organize your most used apps with TurboLaunch
TurboLaunch is an ideal application for those who work with numerous applications and need to have their favorite programs ready to use in an efficient and organized way. For this there is this application that is nothing more than a fully configurable toolbar , from which we can run the programs that we use the most. As with the Windows toolbar, we will have images to distinguish what each button is configured for.
The buttons on the toolbar will not only help us to run a program, but we can also configure certain pre-programmed actions . In this way, we can configure a button to activate the Windows screen saver, restart the system, turn off Windows, etc. In this way we can perform with a single click many of the tasks that we normally want several steps to carry out, keeping everything well organized in a comfortable way
With TurboLaunch we can also configure any button to establish an Internet network connection or a VPN connection. In this way we can assign a button to connect or disconnect to the Internet in a simple and accessible way from the Windows Desktop.
Configure the toolbar to your liking
Once we have run TurboLaunch, a pop-up window will appear. In it you will inform us that we are dealing with a test product, so we can register it or continue with the evaluation period. We continue with the evaluation period and a floating toolbar will appear with three tab groups and 20 configurable buttons by default.
TurboLaunch offers a clean design with an intuitive floating bar interface . It is fully configurable so we can adjust the number of rows and columns of buttons that appear in the window, organize them into groups or change the name to our liking. To change the name of each group will be as simple as right-clicking on the tab and clicking on Rename.
To configure the TurboLaunch buttons, simply drag and drop any program, file, shortcut or folders. In this way the button is immediately configured to run the desired application. We can also configure the buttons manually and this will only require clicking on any of the buttons on the TurboLaunch toolbar. Next, a configuration window will open from which we can configure everything manually.
It is missing being able to establish direct access to web pages
We can establish if we are going to run a program, perform an action or set the parameters for an internet connection. In this way, we can specify a command to execute, the parameters of the start folder and a description of it. We can even change the icon and customize the icon of the program that we are going to include. The configuration possibilities are high since we can configure that TurboLaunch always appears at the top above other windows or change the size of the buttons to make them bigger or smaller.
We do miss the possibility of adding different direct links to our favorite web pages. It would have been tremendously useful to have direct access to the most used websites in the same way that we can execute and launch practically any command or folder.
How to download TurboLaunch
TurboLaunch is a paid application. In order to enjoy its features, we must buy its license, which starts from 20 dollars for a computer. It is compatible only with the Windows operating system from XP to Windows 10. The more licenses you buy, the lower your price will be, being $ 7 if we acquire at least 100 licenses. If we want to test the tool before buying it, we can download a 30-day trial version from its website . The program installs quickly without at any time trying to install secondary programs or show us any kind of advertising.
The latest available version of TurboLaunch is 5.1.4 and dates from June 26, 2011 . This shows that it has been 9 years without being revised and updated. Although it is not a problem for the program to continue working correctly, it is possible to see a specific block that could already have been solved with an update. Thus, greater support from the developer would be appreciated, especially when you do not have a free version and you have to pay to use it.
Alternatives to TurboLaunch
If you are looking for a tool to have organized the shortcuts to the most used applications and commands in Windows, we present a couple of alternatives to TurboLaunch.

You can download a free trial version from their website. The price of your license is $ 19.90.
