Keep your desktop a place to store nice pictures by creating a list of all programs you need to launch, storing them in an intuitive menu. #Application launcher #App launcher #Launch application #Launcher #Launch #Shortcut
Your desktop easily becomes a crowded space, more or less forcing you to create an organized configuration of files and folders you quickly need to access. On the bright side of things, solutions come under the form of third-party applications, and Desktop Launcher is a suitable example here, with an intuitive management solution.
The application comes in a pretty lightweight package, and it doesn’t require installation to function on your computer. As such, you can even place it on a thumb drive along with other programs to make it a launcher for your portable apps. Note, however, that .NET Framework is a mandatory requirement here, so make sure it’s installed on your PC.
A pretty compact window shows up on launch, which offers all tools to get started and launch your applications. It doesn’t come with any configured examples to get you started, but it does make it quite easy to set up the list. However, only executable files can be added to the list, and you can even edit the list later on.
A custom name can be added to each item, but without an icon, because the default one is used. You can set a delay for starting programs. Note that you need to hit the generate button for the application to build the list and be able to use it.
Unfortunately, the application’s window always sits on the desktop, with no possibility to minimize it. More than that, there’s no option to make it sit on top of everything else. There is, however, a trick to use it to your advantage, namely to assign a hotkey command to its shortcut to bring it up whenever needed from any Explorer location.
Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Desktop Launcher isn’t really prepared to offer the required flexibility to enhance your workflow. The window you work with always stands in your way, and doesn’t directly provide access to configured apps.
