Launcher description by publisher:

Vendor : "Launcher is an easy-to-use personal shortcut manager that can launch all kinds of any file & applications. Drag-and-drop operations are supported; this means that when Launcher is in "Manage Items" mode, it´s possible to configure shortcuts by "dragging" any file from e.g. Windows Desktop & then "dropping" them into Launcher. One can create an unlimited amount of person defined sub-folders & item (e.g. application) shortcuts. Launcher always resides in the system tray per default; however, one can turn this off in settings. Launcher also has various GUI options, e.g. customizable application font setup (name & size). "
