The drag and drop method adds the application's icon, path, name, etc automatically, so you should consider using this if you want to speed up the process. Use either option and it will add the shortcut to the dock. It will prompt you to copy the shortcut properties or create a link to the shortcut. Want to do that in a single click? Drag and drop a shortcut or an EXE, to the LaunchBar Commander interface (over the dock's name). For applications add the word "%file%" in the argument box. There is a "Command path" box in the pane below, browse for the EXE or folder that you wanted to add. A new command is created, rename the caption, and set an icon (paste the icon's path) or use one of the built-in icons. You can even choose a custom background should you not like the ones that LaunchBar Commander ships with. Next, choose the background you want, set its color and transparency. You can also set the dock to autohide, autoslide or reserve a space for it. Select a display style for the icons, menu, and border (optional). Click on the "Add Node" menu button (or right-click on a dock > Insert) and select "Add child - Dock": you may rename it to what you want. Shortcuts that you place in the dock are called Nodes. You can customize the pre-made dock or create your own. Undocking restores the panel to its original size. This brings up the LaunchBar Commander settings window, that you can use to customize the dock. Right-click the tray icon and select preferences.
Left-click on the tray icon to access the shortcuts that were on the dock are available from the tray. Hitting the close button minimizes the program to the system tray. You can drag the docked panel to any of the four sides of the screen. One of the options includes the ability to dock the panel, i.e., place it on the edge of the screen. This has a few options to resize, center, rebuild the bar. Right-click inside the dock to view its context-menu. The program plays a sound when you click on a button which you can disable in the options. This is pretty useful for opening files quickly without having to navigate around in Explorer or opening Control Panel or the Start Menu. The Control Panel menu lists all the options available in Windows' namesake, the Documents menu displays links to files in your Documents folder, and so on. Clicking one of the buttons opens up a menu with the contents of the selected option. The Dock has 4 buttons: Control Panel, Documents, Start Menu and a Sample Menu. This is a floating panel, so you can drag it around the screen. A small panel titled "My First Dock" will open, click on the edges to resize it. Upon running it for the first time, you will be greeted by a message that says the program is donation ware (made by Mouser, a popular DonationCoder developer).

LaunchBar Commander is a free application that's similar and offers a lot of customization options on top of that.
#Launchbar commander windows windows 10
(Minor glitch: it says "Menu Commander" in Windows list of installed programs.) I've searched, and I haven't yet found a free launcher that's better.Rocketdock was the coolest application launcher in my opinion and it still works on Windows 10 devices even though it is outdated. My taskbar is on my secondary monitor, so the menus pop up there, but the floating or auto-hiding windows appear on the primary and won't be moved over.
Its shortcuts can execute programs, scripts, plugins, internal and external links, or display menus, submenus, the contents of folders, or special things like what you've chosen from the Control-Panel applets. It's easy to configure (drag and drop), can hold almost limitless items in multi-layers, includes its own icons and options to use those in Windows' shell, or in your other DLLs and EXEs, or your own ("large" = 32x32, "small" = 16x16, though other-sized icons are displayed as these sizes). It'd be 99% ideal if it supported multiple monitors, and 100% if its 25 skins were more varied in background color.
