I got this product after a couple of Win10 updates completely reset all the Windows key panels I had spent so much time laying out. MaxLauncher is a better design anyway. There is a single config file that one can synchronize among numerous computers, which is very handy. It makes it easy to run programs as admin. You can also add command line arguments easily.

Very good app!

Ease & Features - easy adding programs directly with relative paths. Design - not all the layout settings are available from the interface, so you had to edit the theme files manually to bring the program to the desired appearance. Support - in advance. ;)
