Thanks Chris. I didn't know about TigerLaunch and it's a perfect free alternative to FruitLauncher etc. Great tip. GoodBye Dock. I've been using Recent Items. But this is much faster and lists everything. I use LiteSwitch X for switching among what's already open. <http://www.proteron.com/liteswitchx/> but it's no longer free. $14.95 after a free 30 trial period. k On Tuesday, April 15, 2003, at 06:34 PM, macjedi at mac.com wrote: > I've been very pleased with Brent Simmons' TigerLaunch, which is free. > > <http://ranchero.com/tigerlaunch/> > > chris
