SUGGESTED ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION Button Manager Pro v1.3 Windows Application Launcher SUGGESTED KEY WORDS Windows Desktop Launcher Utility Shell Button Manager Environment Shareware PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Button Manager is an multi-icon-bar utility that provides quick access to applications. Program Manager groups and icons are automatically reflected by Button Manager; each group becomes a resizable button bar that can separately be opened and placed anywhere on your desktop. Previous set-up is remembered each time the program is started. You can designate some or all bars to stay on top, minimize, maximize, or cascade. Optionally display program descriptions in the title bar as your cursor glides over each icon. Unlike other programs of this nature, this program requires virtually no set-up before you can start using it. A professional set-up program guides you through the installation process. A minute later the program is installed and it automatically recognizes the applications in your Windows environment. In fact, any time you change the groups in Program Manager or install new Windows applications, these programs are also reflected in Button Manager because it reads the Windows Group files. What this means is that there is no need to maintain your favourite applications in two places.
