PStart: Portable Apps Launcher [Recommended]
The PStart application from PegTop is a portable application launcher that launches portable application through a menu system. As I use a lot of portable applications on my USB flash memory disk, I found it a hassle to launch each application using shortcuts and it gets real messy too with so many shortcut icon. I was quite impressed with this freeware application and wasted no time in installing and using on all my USB flash memory disks. The PStart portable application launcher can be installed either as a standalone portable app or locally on your PC, and when not in use it can be minimized to the tray icon.
Some of the notable features:
- Grouping portable applications into categories
- Uses relative paths (in portable mode), this means the application can be started even when the drive letter changes
- Ability to scan and auto add all the portable apps stored on the flash disk
- Built-in search function to locate all portable apps on local and USB drive
- Allows you to write little notes which you can set reminders and notifications
- Highly configurable settings page which let users define their own preferences
- Can be set to run to run automatically when flash disk inserted into the computer
I have found another usage where I can copy and carry all the useful application installer (non-portable apps) in my USB flash disk and adding those installer to the PStart menu. This way, I can organize and install all the applications from one location instead of locating each executable file. IT support people should find this real handy when performing those ‘Windows re-installation’ procedure. Recommended freeware with no advertisement. Click here to go to the download page.
