What is MRU File Manager ?

MRU File Manager is a utility for running applications. If you find yourself running the same few applications all the time, MRU File Manager is for you. If you find that you run a few applications opening the same files, MRU File Manager is for you.

MRU File Manager allows you to select which application you would like to start using the Drive, Directory, and File List Boxes. Double-clicking an application starts the application. Double-clicking a file, that is in the file association list, opens the file after starting the application. Just like the Windows File Manager.

MRU File Manager keeps track of the last 5 applications that were started and any files that were opened with them. The icons of these applications along with the file names are shown across the top portion of the window.

Choose the Manual Close check box if you would like to open more than one application at a time.
