PStart: Portable app launcher

by Jordan Running on February 2, 2006 at 02:00 PM

So you put all these portable apps installed on your USB drive only to discover what a pain it is to start them? Try PStart. It's a freeware Windows app launcher that you can run from your USB drive that remembers where to find your portable apps even if your portable storage device gets assigned a different drive letter. When you're not using it PStart hides behind a tray icon out of your way, and it looks fairly customizable. As a bonus, it has a built-in notes function so you can take your shopping list or mad scrawlings with you wherever you go.
