CoolTabs is a powerful application designed to tidy up your desktop and provide a fast way for organizing and opening your applications, folders, shortcuts and documents which you frequently access.

The CoolTabs application fully supports the Drag and Drop technology, so each shortcut can be set by dragging & dropping any file, folder, or even URL on the dock cell. Want to download an URL? Don't make the unwanted movements, just drag & drop it on a folder shortcut. Want to upload a file on a personal FTP server? Don't launch a massive FTP client, just drag & drop the file on a ftp-server shortcut. That's all. Even if you want to send a document to any mail recipient, just drag & drop it on email shortcut.

The CoolTabs applications will simplify and speed up every aspect of daily work on your computer considerably. It can be attached to any side of the screen, so it does not take up the valuable place on your space when it is not active. You can have as many different docks as you would like, with very flexible settings for each one. Set hotkeys, colors, fonts, textures. Make a dock to be semi-transparent. Choose the size of icons displayed, whether the names of the items are shown, and much more.

You can have multiple layers of items in docks, clicking on the folder tabs shown above to choose between them. No more having to open endless folders by folders. Say goodbye to those annoying shortcuts covering your desktop. CoolTabs provides you instant access to every single item on your desktop.
