PS Hot Launch
Free Application Launcher for Windows
Quickly run applications, open documents, navigate to folders and web pages through a convenient system tray menu with hotkey support. Perfect free Start menu alternative.
Overview
PS Hot Launch is designed to quickly run different applications, open documents, navigate to folders and web pages, and send mail to specified addresses. All operations are carried out through a convenient menu accessible by clicking the program icon in the system tray or by pressing user-assigned hot keys.
Support for the Win key significantly extends the number of possible hotkey combinations. The list of applications, documents, and folders can be organized as a tree structure, allowing you to divide everything into logical groups for easier and quicker access to what you need.
This logical grouping allows you to form a very handy structure of executable commands. Using this structure, you can very quickly find and run exactly what you want. PS Hot Launch is a perfect free alternative to the Start menu and the Quick Launch panel.
