Launch98 v1.0 Copyright (c) 1997-1998 Bart Pelgrims (launch98@screensavergallery.com) Platforms --------- Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 Description ----------- This program is a little tool that sits in the Windows tray (that's where your clock is). When you right-click it, an Office97-style (this means including the icons) menu pops up with all the shortcuts, links and programs on your dekstop. If you click or doubleclick (customizable) the launch98 icon, it will start any program you choose(normal, maximized or minimized). I suggest that you place the program in your startup folder. Uninstall information --------------------- Just delete the launch98.exe. The program doesn't make any registry or ini entries. Why I wrote this ---------------- I started developing this tool because I coudn't find one that fitted my needs. If you can think of some other cool feature for it, don't hesitate to contact me. (email below) License information ------------------- Launch98 is full freeware. It does not expire. You may use this program at your own risk. Distribution must be free. (but it would be nice if I knew about it) Version history --------------- version 1.0 BETA1 * First Release version 1.0 BETA2 * Some minor bugs fixed version 1.0 * Some minor bugs fixed * Now you can customize it to launch any program when you click or doubleclick the trayicon. (including the windowstate) Things to do in the future -------------------------- * include the other desktop items (like my computer, recycle bin, etc) * intelligent caching to speed it up (every time you right click it it reads all the desktop icons...) * install / uninstall program * include a full application bar * ??
