ObjectBar is a program that can replace or extend Windows Start bar. It provides the functionality of the Start bar but does it faster and with vastly more features. Because it is so flexible and skinnable, it can be made to look like any sort of wharf, bar, finder, dock, etc. found on any OS. Or it can be used to create something entirely new, giving both corporate IT managers and end users the ability to design and implement a desktop interface specifically for their usage. It improves user productivity and provides a level of personalization to the Windows desktop interface previously not possible.

ObjectBar takes the best features from virtually every OS available and brings them to Windows. ObjectBar can do things such as group tasks together, configure the system tray to hide and show different items, and display the programs you run most often automatically. It does this with a fully skinnable and customizable interface. You can make Windows 98/Me's start bar look and function identically to the Windows XP start bar or Mac OS X's Finder. Dozens of ObjectBar themes are available on the Web.

Version 1.6 allows users to have hot keys to virtually any program or command available in Windows. It also uses significantly less memory than previous versions.
