What more could I want? The Quick Launch Toolbar. If you've used it, you'll appreciate the convenience it provides. All my open apps (programs) appear to the right of the Quick Launch area and are not interspersed with the unopened icons.
I have Start11 V2.03 installed and just installed ExplorerPatcher 22621.2861.62.1 My Quick Launch Toolbar instantly reappeared and survived a restart! Start11 appears unaffected. When I first installed ExplorerPatcher, Start11 asked for my license key but that was only once.
The icons on the Quick Launch toolbar only require 1 click to start the application.
I had a similar problem. Uninstalling ExplorerPatcher seems to have fixed it.
