DesktopAccelerator

DesktopAccelerator is a small software application designed specifically for Windows 7 users in order to help them organize desktop shortcuts and quickly access their favorite programs.

By default, the utility places by a horizontal bar at the bottom part of the desktop and reveals the shortcuts of several preset tools. You cannot find a help manual included in the package but you can manage to set up the dedicated parameters on your own because they look highly intuitive.

DesktopAccelerator gives you the possibility to place multiple shortcuts on the preset bar. What’s more, you are allowed to adjust the position of the bar on the screen, namely upper or bottom part of the desktop, and choose the number of items that are displayed on the bar.

Adding a new shortcut to the bar can be done by importing the executable file (EXE file format) and assigning a custom image (BMP file format) from your computer.

Tests have shown that DesktopAccelerator carries out a task very quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

All things considered, DesktopAccelerator has to offer nothing more than basic features for helping you gain access to several programs on the fly, and is suitable especially for less experienced users. Professionals may look for something else because they may get disappointed by the poor support for advanced options. You cannot adjust the size of the bar, place the bar in a vertical position, make the bar remain on top of other utilities, and adjust its transparency, just to name a few suggestions.
