Overview

What is Winlaunch?

Winlaunch is a simple program that will allow you to use Function Keys as shortcuts for loading different programs, folders or websites anywhere within Windows.

In depth

A closer look at Winlaunch

Winlaunch 2 is the next major update for Winlaunch. Winlaunch will allow a user to add programs/folders/websites to a shortcut list, which can then be accessed from any location around windows. These programs/folders/websites are linked to Function Keys, which when pressed within windows, will launch any programs/folders/websites that have been assigned to them. A Function Key can have many different programs/folders/websites assigned to it, so it’s completely unlimited. Also, you can set a list of default shortcuts that will be installed upon start-up, which will hide the program in the system tray, and depending on the settings, will show a warning message.

Winlaunch will allow you to specify how programs/folders/websites will be loaded upon accessing a Function Key. For example, they can be loaded Minimized, Maximized or just in Normal focus. The program’s key checking engine can be stopped and started whenever the user wants and can be done from the System Tray menu. All of the shortcuts that have been added are shown on the Main Window and can be removed and cleared very easily.

Also, as a bonus, Countdown Application support is now available. Renamed to Schedule Command, this new window will allow a user to select a program/folder/website, which can be launched at at a specific time or after a delay time they specify has been completed. This window will launch the program/folder/website according to the settings specified with Winlaunch itself. The windows can be closed after the command is run, or reset, its up to the user.

Winlaunch has been completely rewritten from the ground up to offer all of the new features available, it’s a lot faster than the previous version and is a lot easier to use and offers better features. If you have a previous version of Winlaunch installed, please uninstall it first before install Winlaunch 2.0.
