PStart is a simple tray tool to start user defined applications. Designed to run portable applications (like portable Firefox & Thunderbird), you can start anything runnable from USB key devices or removable disks. Install PStart locally to your hard disk to have an additional start menu. Install PStart to your USB stick to launch portable applications easily and open important documents or folders. PStart doesn't neccessarily have to be installed to your hard disk. Execute the installer and choose: you can install PStart to your local hard drive or a removable device. Unlike Windows shortcuts, PStart uses relative paths, when installed as a portable application. If your USB key drive gets another drive letter when you insert it into another computer, your portable applications still can be started properly. This means you can also use PStart to start applications you burn to a CD (and don't know the drive letter either).

Your start menu getting larger and larger? Just using a few applications every day? With QuickLaunch, you can access your favourite programs, folders and files fast and easily via a tray menu or keyboard hotkeys. In contrast to many other tools on the net, QuickLaunch doesn't offer quick access to the desktop shortcuts, but manages an own list of shortcuts that can be edited comfortably with the included Shortcut Editor. Drag & Drop from Windows Explorer is as self-evident as freely movable dividers, shortcut list import and export and a double-hotkey alert system. The automatic integration into Windows' "Send To" menu completes QuickLaunch's feature offers.

Unlimited Menus means Unlimited ways of launching processes and an Unlimited number of launching items in the same Menu list. The idea of Unlimited Menus creation based on the fact that all SysTray launchers fill their icon ListBox with folders, sub-folders, sub-sub-folders, etc. imposing after some time the necessity to keep notes for a navigation through them. So what is more simple than having one launcher with several menu lists named according to their contents, and which they can be called immediatelly in conformance with the specific time needs. And that's exactly this application: a SysTray launcher constituted from two separated programs.

TaskArrange is a simple utility that lets you rearrange the buttons of the Windows taskbar. Sometimes we open our programs in a specific sequence, to keep their taskbar buttons in a desired order. But what happens if a program crashes or we close it, and then we open it again? That's right - its task button ends up last in the taskbar. Windows itself does not allow us to move the task buttons around, so we are stuck with two options: either accept the new order, or close everything and reopen them in the preferred order. TaskArrange brings an end to this annoyance, by letting us do exactly what we want: reorder the task buttons.
