What you will need:
a) Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/MCE/Vista
b) Some modding apps =p
STEP ONE
Make a folder somewhere, anywhere you wish, and name it something like 'Modding Toolbar'
Once made, make and put shortcuts to all your modding apps in this folder, like shown here;

STEP TWO
Now, right click anywhere on the taskbar, and find 'Toolbars' and select 'New Toolbar' as shown below;

STEP THREE
Now, an explorer window will open, locate and select the folder you created with the modding shortuct in, and press OK, as shown below;

So there you have it, a simple, lightweight application launcher, no coding required, and it's accesbile easily anytime you wish, with a simple click


Hope this helps some people!
