[UPDATE] Added in "Start with Windows" option... the one option that i keep on forgetting. I kept the zip file name the same so that people can download this newer version from websites that link directly to JumpPad.

Windows Vista and Windows 7, Aero required.

So after listening to many, Many suggestions, here is JumpPad 2.1

New Features:
* Startup Info-Splash screen. Only shows once.
* Customizable Icon Size.
* (Even) Better Icon and file association rendering.
* Improved memory management.
* Several Speed improvements.
* Fav folder. Right-click an icon/file to add it to your Faves.
* You can delete files from your Fav menu, with the right-click. Delete ONLY works in the Fav menu!
* Start menu is now a visible Item.

A note:
Even though JumpPad has been very much optimized, tweaked, and configured for the best app for the lowest amount of memory usage, please keep this in mind...

JumpPad does a LOT of graphics work behind the scene. To put it in layman's terms, every icon that you have it show, is, to some extent, a layer. Most people have about 100 apps on there PC. I myself have over 300, and that's with duplicate eliminations turned on (default, always on).

So Imaging opening up Photoshop, the Gimp, Paint.Net, whatever Graphics art app that you want, and starting a file, and doing 100 layers on that image. The app WILL start eating up memory.

While I have done a lot of research on how to best free up memory, the correct way to dispose of graphics as they are no longer needed, and several optimizing techniques, and having run JumpPad through two different Memory Leak detecting and optimizing apps... This is about as good as it gets.

The more files you have it show, the more RAM it will eat. that's just how it is. I have literally tried everything that I know to make it memory friendly.

For me, JumpPad runs about 20-50MB with consistent use, and limiting it to smaller folders.

Anyway, hope everyone likes 2.1! This will be the last independent JumpPad release, as it is getting code-merged with Harmony, and Harmony will inherit all of it's unique properties.

click the upper-right hand green check mark, and choose a button to assign a folder. when you do so the folder chosen will now show up on the left-hand side of the items.

Hey I wish to make it a Shortcut to Activate it Instead of Mouseover.. Is this Possible?

sadly no, it is not, however, you can use the control panel's properties to shrink the mouseover size. Just reduce the "Hotspot" pixel size.

That IS a good idea though.

Support for more than six folders, please?

Also, does this only work with shortcuts, or can we manually add the actual program's .exe to the JumpPad?

Custom icon support?

Best advice i can give? Download vb Express (or c#, however, VB is easier to read and understand), and start playing around in the IDE. Thats exactly how i learned. Except i did it in DOS, with QBasic.
