TabMeister is a great little desktop utility that helps you quickly get to applications, files, and folders without having to always search for them on your hard drive.
So, what TabMeister does is allow you to add Tabs to your desktop that act like pop-up folders containing icons of all of the things you want to have access to. For example, you can create a Tab named "Graphics", and in that Tab you can store links to all of your graphics applications that you use.
