Program Launcher

The Program Launcher is a little utility for launching multiple programs with delays. This is useful if you need a program to start first before starting other programs that use the first program.


Program Launcher Quick Start Guide

Drag a short cut for a program onto one of the available ten locations.

Double Click on the Delay (secs) column to modify the delay time.

Click on the upside down triangle on the Show column to adjust how the program starts.

You can right click on the program name column to move the program up or down in the list, to delete it, or to adjust the link properties.

Click the File menu and Test to test it.


Menu Options

File - Test: Test launching the programs.
File - Start Minimized: If checked the program starts up and immediately goes to the system tray (rocket ship icon).
File - Add To Startup Folder: This will add a Program Launcher shortcut to your Startup folder, so that it starts and launches the programs every time your computer starts.
File - Exit: Exits the program.

Edit - Insert Row: Inserts a blank row at the highlighted row.
Edit - Delete Row: Deletes the highlighed row.
Edit - Move Up: Moves the highlighted row up one and shifts the one above it down.
Edit - Move Down: Moves the highlighed row down one and shifts the one below it up.

Help - About: Shows the program version number.

The Right Click options are the same as the Edit menu options, except there is a Properties option that lets you modify the link properties for the highlighted row. This is the same as clicking on the Pencil next to the program name.

You can drag and drop the rows if you highlight them first, and then click on the upper left hand corner of the cell.
