In depth
A closer look at ActiveLaunch
ActiveLaunch is a program launcher that allows you to run applications, documents, and folders from the keyboard, never having to memorize the multitude of hotkeys. ActiveLaunch main window looks similar to a regular folder window in My Computer with icons reflected in it being analogues to Windows shortcuts. Icons can be assigned to any keys. To launch a program from the keyboard you only need to call up the main ActiveLaunch windows by pressing the hotkey, and then pressing the keyboard shortcut associated with that program without any keyboard modifiers. Just two hits. That is very quick. And surely you may open folders, documents, or web-sites the same way. You may use sections as regular folders to divide your icons into categories. Besides, sections may be used to run a group of programs, documents, and folders. Keyboard shortcuts are listed next to each icon; therefore you don’t need to memorize them. Alt + Backspace is the default hotkey combination, but you can change it.
