ToolBox Alternatives
ToolBox is described as 'application launcher for Windows operating systems with many amazing features. Easy to install, you can get going in minutes. Its drag & drop interface creates shortcuts to almost anything; applications, drives, folders, even simple files' and is an app in the OS & Utilities category. There are seven alternatives to ToolBox for Windows, Linux, Screenlets and Mac. The best alternative is Fences. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Sideslide or Folderview Screenlet. Other great apps like ToolBox are Nimi Places (Free Personal), iCollections (Paid), Mouse Extender (Free, Open Source) and SE-DesktopConstructor (Free).
