The program looks convenient, and thanks for that. However, may I suggest a
personal preference: I always found it wasteful that windows stored each
shortcut as a separate (aproximately) 1K file. Even the windows 3.1
lookalikes for the start menu and taskbar, stored start menu items in a
single file, like most menu or launcher programs. Your program appears to
weigh in at quite a few kilobytes and probably takes up quite a bit of
memory. Chances are by default, it stays in the system tray when it is
not being used, instead of launching, and then exiting when one chooses
an application.
I know you can hardly buy a disk these days that has less than 20 gigabytes
of storage, and 512 megs of ram is probably average now. But I still do not
like the microsoft tendency to use hardware accomplishments as reasons to
write sloppy, inefficient, bulky code. Remember when an application was one
executable and one ini file, rather than dozens or hundreds of files?
