QuickStart



Introduction
QuickStart is a simple launcher for items in your Start Menu, Favorites, etc.
I Wrote the program when I started to develop RSI (Computer Related Repetitive Strain Injury).
Especially when using the Windows Start Menu I found my fingers tingling and my eyes searching.
I hope you will find QuickStart as useful as I do. If you do, drop me a mail!

Select the item you want to launch with the UP and DOWN arrow keys and press ENTER.

Press SHIFT + ENTER or CTRL + ENTER to open the directory of the program you want to launch in Windows Explorer.

Press ESCAPE to cancel and clear your selection. Press ESCAPE again to hide/close QuickStart.
