ProgramLaunch is a simple and easy to use application launchbar for the Windows operating systems. Initially made as a tool to circumvent the annoying start menu, this third generation is completely redesigned from scratch to improve flexibility and performance and make everyday use of the launcher as comfortable as possible.

Managing the launchpad is simple and intuitive. Programs are added either through a dialog or by dragging links from Windows onto the launchpad. Organizing the programs is also done easily by dragging the icons and groups around.

SAN Gear made a Skin

I have made a Wodden - Rose Wood Skin, it may be buggy. It is just Muntzed xml, I did it with one eye closed and one hand tied to my back.

There is a lot of Wooden Chunks thrown around. I did not svn or diff. If you find a error, try correcting it.If i find a bug in skin, i will correct and update new skin here. 

Accessibility of my skin is bad, See it got blended with Desktop Wallpaper. If Locked in place, it gets embedded in desktop, just like my netmeter on right.
