WoW Launcher

WoW Launcher is a lightweight gadget that really doesn’t need any introduction as to what it does.

Whether you’re a gamer or not, you’re bound to immediately figure out that WoW Launcher can be used to run the popular World Of Warcraft game from your desktop.

As it is normal with all Windows gadgets, WoW Launcher does not require any sophisticated installation. You simply run it and it is displayed on your computer screen. You can then reposition it anywhere you want and with one click, run the game.

There’s not much to speak of in terms of graphic user interface. The gadget is only comprised of the logo for the World of Warcraft Cataclysm release and can not be changed.

This however does not mean that WoW Launcher works just with that version. The widget allows you to target the wow.exe file from where the game is installed and creates a shortcut to it. Once it’s set, every time you click the widget, the game is launched regardless of the version you have installed.

Using the gadget is simple and straightforward and if you’re not keen on creating classic desktop shortcuts for games, then WoW Launcher is just right for you. The only major setback for it is the fact that Windows widgets have been discontinued due to user security reasons so you can’t expect any updates for it.

To sum things up, WoW Launcher that has a place on every computer with World of Warcraft but since widgets are less and less popular, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes obsolete and impractical.
