	Vista Start Menu  License: Freeware
	Each time you start programs from the Start menu, you use an interface that has not changed in 10 years! No wonder it has become more difficult to use as the number of programs has increased. Vista Start Menu is a convenient alternative to the "Start" menu. It's now easier to find and run the program you need. Visually-based, and easy-to-use. Your applications are arranged in a table with icons divided into groups, which makes it easier to work with multiple programs. And one more really important nuance: when you remove programs or install new ones, other icons remain in their places so you do not have to waste time looking for "drifted icons" as often happens.

	8start Launcher  License: Freeware
	New era of desktop, start menu and quick launch is coming by a free skinable application launcher 8start launcher. It make a whole new way of launching programs and applications on your system which you never seen before. Starting programs from shortcuts on desktop and start menu is an obsolete and cumbersome process. Now it is made precise with categorization and graphic options. All your programs can be easily identified from the groups and the icons displayed. The art panel design and the graphical interface make your desktop much more viewable and useful than all your wallpapers and shortcuts put together. You can maintain a clean desktop and access any program with a single click. Clear, useful groups replace the clutter of icons on your desktop. Even the menu is better than the standard start menu. Even the status of removable drive capacity and free space is displayed for your convenience. I created 8start Launcher because I believe there should be a convenient way to access application than using windows start menu, quick launch and desktop. Windows desktop look messy if too many shortcuts in the desktop, windows start menu become hard to access if too many applications installed in the computer, windows quick launch not suitable to handle too many shortcuts. With the new very special button configuration feature, you can define the look of the individual button e.g. button label, icon size, background, width, height... With the labeling options, you can launch your favorite documents and bookmarks, play the nice songs, link to the folders in intuitive way. Author: 8start.com| Date: 10-09-2006 | Size: 1894 KB

	Smooth Program Scheduler  License: Freeware
	This freeware will start any program you want at a scheduled time. It can perform both one-time and recurring tasks. However, there is more to Smooth Program Scheduler than just starting other programs. If some program is enabled with a control interface built under Scheduler's specification, then you will get additional control over that program. Two sound recorders, Claudio and Audio Notes Recorder, represent a good example for that collaboration. If you have one of those recorders on your computer then you will be able to make unattended recordings using Scheduler. In other words you get the opportunity to create a scheduled task that will launch the audio program, start recording from selected sound source, stop the recording at some point later in time and finally exit the program. For all those actions your presence won't be necessary at all. Author: XemiComputers Ltd.| Date: 18-03-2005 | Size: 1720 KB
