ActiveLaunch v 1.7 Released - This Program Lets You Run Program Group With Just Two Keystrokes

Do you want to run a group of programs with just two keystrokes, never having to memorize the multitude of hotkeys? Do you want to select several documents and open them at once? Then this utility is designed for you.

(PRWEB) January 23, 2005 -- ActiveLaunch gives you the ability to open frequently used applications, documents, and folders from the keyboard, without having to memorize a multitude of hotkeys. ActiveLaunch main window looks similar to a simple folder window with icons. Keyboard shortcuts are listed along with each icon for at-a-glance access. To launch a program you only need to call up the main ActiveLaunch window by pressing the hotkey, and then pressing the keyboard shortcut associated with that program without any keyboard modifiers. Alt + Backspace is the default hotkey combination, but you can change it.

Different sections can be created as subfolders. You may use sections as regular folders to divide your icons into categories.

Besides, sections may be used to run a group of programs, documents, and folders. To do this it is enough to create a section, assign it to a keyboard shortcut and place there the icons you want. After this you hit the hotkey to call up ActiveLaunch and press the corresponding key, while holding CTRL key. And indeed, instead of pressing the keyboard shortcut you may click the corresponding icon as well. While holding Ctrl you can also select desired icons and launch corresponding objects (e.g. folders, files, and web pages) at once. After launching an application, opening a document or a folder the ActiveLaunch window is automatically closed.

To add icons you can either use the menu or the Windows Drag&Drop technology.
