LaunchIt

LaunchIt is a handy little app that helps you create a list of your favorite files and folders. You can open them quickly from a launchpad! It runs quietly in the system tray, giving you easy access to its settings while you continue your regular PC tasks without any interruptions.

Easy Installation

This whole program comes packed in just one executable file. You can save it wherever you like on your disk or even copy it to a USB drive. This way, you can run it on any PC with hardly any hassle!

No Registry Changes

One cool thing about LaunchIt is that it doesn’t mess with your registry settings. Instead, it creates a new file when you exit to remember your preferences. Just keep in mind that you'll need the .NET Framework installed since this app was built using Microsoft's platform.

User-Friendly Interface

Once you launch LaunchIt, an icon appears in the system tray, and a small frame pops up at the top center of your screen. Clicking that opens the launchpad where you can add multiple files and folders for quick access.

Customization Options

You have the option to strip down the launchpad’s look by removing icons for a cleaner appearance. Plus, if you'd like, you can make that top-center frame always stay on top of maximized or fullscreen windows!

Add Your Personal Touch

You can also assign any local image as the background for your launchpad and choose whether to show or hide descriptions. Want it to start automatically when you turn on your computer? No problem! Just integrate it into Windows’ autostart sequence.

Lightweight Performance

In our tests, LaunchIt had a minimal impact on computer performance, using very little CPU and RAM. It stayed stable throughout its use without causing crashes or errors—pretty impressive!

A Simple Solution

To sum it all up, LaunchIt takes a straightforward approach to help you create lists of frequently accessed files and folders for quick openings from its launchpad. It's unfortunate that it hasn't received updates in quite some time.
