ProgMan is reborn as ShorterCut, an open source, no-frills app launcher and desktop organizer.

ShorterCut is a free & lightweight program that provides a minimalist-view alternative to desktop folders.

Window colors, sizes, and positions are preserved, and icons for each group are programmatically assigned and added to the Desktop.

How to use:

- Create a group name with Group Manager
- Add shortcuts via drag & drop or [+] button to search Start directory
- Hover over an icon and press "delete" on your keyboard to remove a shortcut
- Double click the lower panel to adjust the color
- Adjust the window size to your preference
-Replace the desktop icon (with an ICO file) if you wish via Right-Click -> Properties -> Change Icon
- Changes you make to the color and window size/position will save each time you close

To transfer groups to a new PC, reinstall your apps (including ShorterCut) and transfer C:\ShorterCut + the desktop group

User Reviews

  • When dragging and dropping icons or shortcuts from inside my current desktop folders/categories, the items still are on the desktop inside the folders. It just duplicate's what is already there into a ,"new" box. The item is still in my folder however. When I remove an item from a box it just makes a shortcut of it on the desktop and the original item is still there, in now, both locations. The entire idea of this app was to declutter the desktop, not make it worse. A big waste of time with this app.
  • wow great program good job amazing (-guy who made it)
