Editor's review for SWiJ SideWinder

Many years ago, when Windows was first being developed, Microsoft realized the importance of allowing users to be able to quickly and easily access any number of applications with a few clicks of their mouse. With this concept in mind, the idea of "shortcuts" and "windows" were established, though at the same time something was missing. Window 95 was the first major breakthrough towards the modern computing world, adding for the first time ever a Start menu where users could finally easily access basic computer commands such as "Shut Down" and "Suspend", with later versions making this even simpler.

Still, despite all of the steps forward computers have made in terms of Operating System ease of use, nothing quite compares to what the SideWinder has to offer. Designed with the idea in mind that computer operation and utilization doesn't have to be a monumental challenge for users to overcome, the SideWinder was designed to maximize overall user efficiency when navigating the Windows environment while minimizing the overall amount of time necessary for users to go through page after page, window after window or list after list in search of the one file they need to do what they want to do.

At its basic core, the SideWinder works like many other programs out there, helping to organize various links into one-click easy access systems that users can use to simplify their computing life and organize their desktop. What the SideWinder does over many other programs, however, is it doesn't stop simply at organizing simple shortcuts. Instead, it looks at allowing users to quickly access not only their favorite programs but also computer functions such as hibernate, suspend and shut down, access useful computer tools such as the calculator, paint or notepad and even instantly search websites and reference information through Dictionary.com and other reference tools.

The developers of SideWinder know that users need more than simple access to programs, however. To that end, they have also enabled the SideWinder to allow easy access to your favorite text information (such as commonly used email addresses) for one-click pasting into any other program, instant opening of folders or drives for browsing, instant navigation to any pre-set web address, the playing of any number of different media formats through its built in player and a number of other functions to help make your computing life a breeze. In short, there's virtually nothing that you would normally need to do through a complex means on a standard Windows system that the SideWinder cannot simplify.

Regardless, it's one thing to hear about all of the amazing benefits that the SideWinder can bring to your computer and it's another thing to try it out for yourself. Thankfully, the SideWinder can be downloaded and demoed on any Windows computer up and running today for you to see firsthand just how powerful of a tool it can be when added to your computer arsenal and configured to your settings.

Stop wasting time and get yourself the SideWinder now before another minute goes by working painfully through all of the steps necessary to run many of even the simplest of applications.

What is new in version 2.4.1

Added Settings option to change the SideWinder Shortcut Keys. Fixed problem with detecting USB Hard Drives as Ejectable Media. Button Height increased for higher resolutions of the Monitor. Two new licensing options added (Dual License & Group License). Some minor Enhancements were made.
