ActiveLaunch is a utility providing you with the opportunity to faster open frequently used applications, documents, and folders using both the mouse and the keyboard. ActiveLaunch main window looks similar to a regular folder window in My Computer with icons reflected in it being analogues to Windows shortcuts. Different sections can be created as subfolders. However in the work with ActiveLaunch there are some peculiarities, if compared to the work with Windows shortcuts: ActiveLaunch window can be faster reached by clicking the tray icon or by pressing the Alt + Backspace key combination; any icon can be assigned to any key, thus pressing the corresponding key would launch the necessary item. To open all items of current or selected section you can use Open All entry from main window right-click menu. You can get the same result keeping Ctrl key in the pressed position during opening of the section. After launching an application, opening a document or a folder the ActiveLaunch window is automatically closed. However, keeping Ctrl key in the pressed position prevents ActiveLaunch from shutting down. This feature provides for convenience in case there is a necessity of opening of several items (e.g. folders, files, and web pages). To add icons you can either use the menu or the Windows Drag and Drop technology. You may also want to use a smaller ActiveLaunch Drag and Drop Panel. This can be useful while creating icons for launching an application, by dragging an icon from the programs menu, or for accessing a web page, by dragging the Internet shortcut from your desktop. In a multi-user environment every Windows-user is assigned with an individual set of properties and icons.
