IMPORTANT - please read the LICENSE.TXT file prior to use of this software. This is the shareware distribution containing the pmSoftware pmLaunch program. pmLaunch - desktop icons by pmSoftware pmLaunch is a simple Windows utility that lets you put application and file object icons on the desktop. This program does not replace the program manager, as some other desktop programs do. If you have spent a lot of time selecting a nice wallpaper and would like to see it, use pmLaunch to put your favorite applications right on the desktop, arranged around the wallpaper to suit your tastes. The applications or files get launched by a double-click, or the key if the icon is selected. The browse features built into the program allow you to select applications and the icons that represent them. Using file associations, you can put a document on your desktop to launch the application. You may choose icons from any .EXE, .DLL, or .ICO file on available disks. The registered version has these additional features: - 3D appearance to the dialog box - Icons can accept drag and drop files - Windows resource gauge window - Screen Saver activator Installation Instructions: From the Program Manager File Menu, select Run, then type in A:SETUP (this assumes that the pmLaunch disk is in drive A:). Follow the on-screen instructions. To use pmLaunch, add it to one of your favorite groups, or to the StartUp group if you want the program to run each time you start up Windows. You may alternatively add it to your "run=" line in WIN.INI. Set the Program Manager "minimize on use" option to let you start with a "clean" desktop (wallpaper visible). This program provides documentation via the on-line help available when the program is running. (Why cut down more trees?) If you like this program and intend to use it regularly, you are obligated to register the program. Continued development of quality software products cannot continue without your support. Thank you for trying this product. We would welcome any comments, bug reports, and suggestions. An individual registration form is provided with this distribution.
