Review: Tray Commander is a small yet powerful program launcher that stays in System Tray and allows you to load the apps on your computer with just one click. The application shows different menus for left and right clicks and it lets you configure both of them with your very own programs, websites or actions. For example, besides launching an installed app, Tray Commander gives you the option to open or close the CD tray, access control panel, paste text from clipboard, launch screensaver, turn off the monitor, reboot computer or power off, all from the same Tray icon we were talking about. Another very important thing about Tray Commander is that it comes with hotkey support, which means that each listed item can be also launched with the press of a keyboard shortcut. The menu items can be customized too, with dedicated options for colors and icon dimensions, but most of the options are very basic and require no advanced computer knowledge. The good thing is that Tray Commander works on low resources, despite the fact that its supposed to run all the time. On the other hand, it crashes on Windows 7 every once in a while, even when launched with administrator privileges. It all seems to happen due to compatibility issues, so further improvements are clearly needed. But all in all, Tray Commander does what it says and you don have to be a computer guru to take the most out of it. The app comes packed with plenty of features and, although a help manual is also available, most of the options are very straightforward and intuitive.
