PStart v2.11

webfork on 26 Dec 2022

769KB (uncompressed)
Released on 7 Jun 2007
Suggested by Tony Chard

PStart is an easy-to-use system tray program launcher with a hierarchical list of menus for launching applications and documents, much like the Windows "Start" menu. Includes support for drag-and-drop program management, customizable look and feel, program auto and scheduled start, search, and much more.

Unlike many other launchers, PStart automatically uses relative paths when adding applications and documents, so portability is automatically preserved when changing drive letters as long as the applications and documents are located in the same drive as PStart.

Note: 64-bit OS users may wish to use this in a compatibility mode.

How to extract:	Download the installer and install using the "Portable setup" option to a folder of your choice Launch PStart.exe Additional notes from the author (Jens Gruschel): "The installer has a combo box with all removable drives listed. But if you click the [Next] button, you can select any folder you want, so there is no need to copy the file afterwards (which you can do of course). I added this combo box, because I thought that most people would install it to a USB stick (in fact I wrote the program because I wanted such a tool for my USB stick). But since I also like programs located on my D: drive, I didn't want to limit it to removable drives."
Latest comments	_joepie_ on 2012-04-15 00:11 @webfork: problem solved; This is what happened, I had a version of PStart from 4 years ago running on my PC at the D-drive. When I installed the newest version of PStart on my E-drive I replaced the old version of PStart on the D-drive at the same time, however only the menu of the E-drive was working. After your last comment that I should work, I completely removed PStart from the D-drive and reinstalled it again. Now everything works fine, I think that some remains of the old Pstart menu was interfering..does not matter anymore, I got what I want..!! Great, thanks a lot Webfork... _joepie_ makes a deep bow for WF.. :) webfork on 2012-09-22 19:54 The program does indeed have minor problems on Win7: I frequently have to restart in order to get to the "Panel" view. Based on developer activity to date, we are unlikely to see an update to fix this. albert on 2017-04-12 22:18 The best launcher I've never used. It works very well in Windows 10, and only in 769KB. I've love it very much. See all 86›

Latest comments	PAFuser on 2021-02-02 09:45 I tried, unable to get captcha correct. Posted on https://sourceforge.net/projects/asuite/ instead. Tried Asuite contact again, still not able to read captcha correctly. webfork on 2021-02-02 13:42 @PAFuser - thanks for trying. That's ... frustrating. El Salvador on 2021-05-05 13:06 Hi, sorry for the delay, I am only now reading your message. In any case, the error messages are those related to the non-execution of some asuite items ("Seems scheduler did''t run the item% s as expected by options. Do you want execute it now?")? has it happened again in recent months? Meanwhile, I opened an issue on github: https://github.com/salvadorbs/Asuite/issues/86 Thank you! See all 35›
