WHAT IS IT?
***********
With QuickLaunch, you can access your favourite programs, folders and files fast
and easily via a tray menu or keyboard hotkeys.
In contrast to many other tools on the net, QuickLaunch doesn't offer quick
access to the desktop shortcuts, but manages an own list of shortcuts that can
be edited comfortably with the included Shortcut Editor. Drag & Drop from
Windows Explorer is as self-evident as freely movable dividers, shortcut list
import and export and a double-hotkey alert system. The automatic integration
into Windows' "Send To" menu completes QuickLaunch's feature offers.

USAGE
*****
After installation, QuickLaunch can be automatically executed. You can control
the program by right-clicking its symbol in the system tray. At first, you
should create a shortcut list with the Shortcut Editor. The use of the editor
should be self-explanatory. If you have any questions, feel free to use the
feedback form provided on www.oliver-frietsch.de to submit your question.
Once you have defined some shortcuts, you can execute them by left-clicking
the tray icon and selecting a menu entry. If you are too lazy to move the mouse
into the system tray, just press "Win + Q" on your keyboard to popup the
shortcut menu right beside your mouse pointer. By the way: If QuickLaunch is
already running and you try to launch a second instance, the first one will also
display its menu at the current mouse position.
