SideSlide - a portable, discreet, dockable, skinnable desktop extension

SideSlide is an advanced desktop extension that's portable, discreet, dockable, skinnable and instantly accessible. SideSlide keeps your desktop clutter-free, organizing your PC's desktop in a unique and personalized way to suit you.

SideSlide

With its dynamic container system and a host of interesting features, SideSlide gives you instant access to everything you need and more. This program launcher gives you the ability to gather and organize a staggering amount of information.

SideSlide

With it, you can browse your favorite RSS feeds, keep shortcuts to files, folders and URLs you visit frequently, and execute a variety of commands quickly. You can add notes, run image slideshows as wallpaper, schedule reminders, record website snippets and much more.

SideSlide respects your system by keeping all configuration files in a single folder, and SideSlide is completely free of adware/spyware and third-party software.

In short, SideSlide is an application capable of organizing everything you use on a daily basis and making it quickly accessible. Provided you first read the instructions and spend a few minutes setting it up, which I must confess I didn't do very well. But I still felt the potential of this tool and thought it was worth presenting it to you.
