MaxLauncher is designed to ease the work of each computer user, providing one-click access to favorite folders and frequently used files and documents. With its help, you can have all your shortcuts placed within a simple window, without cluttering the desktop or the taskbar. MaxLauncher displays a forthright interface where you can create up to ten shortcuts, assigning a button to each. Editing a new shortcut is done by choosing the designated option in the right-click menu or by simply dragging and dropping a program or a folder to one of the available buttons.
Users can customize the name of the application and set additional execution arguments. Applications and folders can start minimized, maximized, hidden or in normal mode, with or without administrative privileges. One interesting feature is that you can configure the position of the opened window and its size. On the downside, MaxLauncher only offers predefined options, not giving you the freedom to customize the window location and its size exactly as you wish.
With a few improvements here and there, MaxLauncher could really come in handy to any user, especially those who are working with a large number of applications at the same time. It practically is a file and folder launcher, with accessible options and customizable looks. Kept on top of all the other opened programs, it can easily encase all the shortcut that make your desktop look crowded.
