Portable PStart

If you’re annoyed by the dozens of shortcuts that litter the desktop at all times and still want to have the ability to launch them with a simple click, then you must look for a solution. Portable PStart is a nice app that can organize shortcuts in a single window.

The app has a simple interface, which means it’s very easy to work with.

You may add several shortcuts to the list. In order to make an entry, you must simple browse the computer for executable files, such as EXE, SCR, COM, BAT and CMD. Once the item is selected, you can edit several fields, including the name, the application path, command line parameters, home directory and description. Several formatting options are available in the lower area of the frame.

It’s also possible to replace the icon and the website linked to the app. Some autorun rules may be defined as well. For instance, the program can be launched on system startup.

Since the program lets you add numerous shortcuts, it also offers you a searching tool to help you locate the items you want to launch.

Some personal notes can be added as well. These can have a user-defined color, such as black, gray, white, pink, peach, yellow, green or blue. They can serve as reminders, enabling users to set a repetitive pattern for each of them. In order to do this, you must choose the time and date.

Since the app is completely portable, it doesn’t need to be installed to the computer and can be launched from removable devices, such as flash drives. It shouldn’t leave traces in the Windows Registry.

Portable PStart is a nice program that can be quite useful to have around, especially if you enjoy a clean desktop background. Less experienced individuals should find this tool easy to handle, thanks to the intuitive layout.
