Summary: Taskbar-less search!

Initial Comment:
I typically don't have much room to spare on my 
taskbar; it's a shame to devote space to DQSD when 
I'm not using it.  Now that we have Windows-S to set 
focus (and the "Search" button on several MSFT 
keyboards), it would be nice to amend DQSD to run in a 
taskbarless mode, popping up only in response to a 
keyboard command.

DQSD is a deskbar, and it supports hotkeys (WIN+S or custom). Many ways to
make that work for you, but eliminating the deskbar defeats the purpose.

>>Taskbar-less search!<<
This is alreadyavailable - a toolbar created on the "normal" 
Window taskbar can be dragged off the taskbar and 
positioned docked on any of the three sides not occupied.

I have mine configured to contain shortcuts to the programs I 
use most frequently and in a separate section to show the 
DQSD search panel.

I leave this "extra" taskbar hidden. To access it, all that's 
necessary is to swoop the mouse to top-of-screen.

Tested and works on Win98 and Win2K - not sure about 
WinXP.

Regards ... Alec

I'll second this idea, with a possible alternate.  The poster 
above seems to be implying DQSD is always running, lurking 
in the background, however...

How about the Win+S shortcut *load* DQSD?  Similar to 
Win+E loading explorer, etc, it would launch DQSD and then 
get focus in one motion.  Looking at the number of 
extensions that have been added to this nifty tool, perhaps 
the warm-up time on launch would inhibit this style of usage, 
but I'd be happy to cull features (via configuration options, of 
course) to get it firing up nice and quick.
