Review by Lockergnome


I’ve reviewed many program launchers and can never imagine what could be different about the next one. QuickStart is another one worthy of a look as I was immediately muy impressed when I entered an application (Publisher). Before I finished typing the word, QuickStart recognized it and I hit Enter to launch the program. Whoomp! There it is. The author created it when he developed RSI (repetitive strain injury), and this tool does help. Very simple and does the trick without hogging resources. [Meryl]
