Program Starter

Program Starter is a software tool which can be used in order to organize the programs installed on your computer, launch them faster and keep your desktop clean.

The installation process is riddled with offers to add other products, so you should pay attention. Once you are done with this, you come across a very simple interface, only consisting of a tree view of a few programs.

This utility is non-obtrusive, as it goes in the system tray from the first launch. By right-clicking the icon, you bring up a context menu which enables you to show the main window, change the language, check for updates, backup or restore a database, access the Help contents, force its frame to always stay on top of other apps and exit.

It is possible to create an unlimited amount of categories, to which you only have to input a name. New programs can be added by selecting the EXE with the help of a file browser. Its name will be automatically displayed, yet you can change it if you want to. With a single click, items from this list will be launched.

A small setback is the fact that the “drag and drop” function is not integrated, as it would have helped people organize items much faster.

It does not affect the computer’s performance, as it uses minimal CPU and memory. This means you can run it alongside other applications without experiencing issues.

Taking all of this into consideration, it becomes clear Program Starter is a tiny, yet useful piece of software, with a good response time, an intuitive and simple environment, useful backup and restore capabilities, as well as neatly organized Help contents.
