Control Strip Module
Is there any way to insert MSIE, Eudora Lite, Telnet, and a News group into the control strip module, and allow me to launch these programs from the control strip? It would reduce the clutter on the desktop.

•••••• If you really want to keep your desktop clean and be super productive, this is what I use: FinderPop, it's the best thing I've come across in ages, and it's free. It's a contextual menu extension, that lets you acces contextual menus without having to hold the control button. You just press the mouse down anywhere and FinderPop's contextual menu pops up, which offers alot of cool features: you can put your favorite applications in the menus, empty trash, move/copy files, etc. You should check it out. I keep just about everything I need to acces within FinderPop.
FinderPop
FinderPop vastly improves OS 8's contextual menus by allowing you to access them just by holding down the mouse key, rather than holding down the control key and mouse together. In addition, with FinderPop you can now navigate through four layers of your mounted volumes from within contextual menus, as well as quickly reveal any pop-up windows on the desktop.
Better yet, you can drop applications into the FinderPop Items Folder making applications immediately accessible from within contextual menus. For example, place DropStuff in this folder, select a group of documents on your desktop, click and hold on the last icon, wait for contextual menus to appear, select DropStuff from the FinderPop Items Folder, and watch all your selected documents compress into a single archive.
