How to Launch Multiple Apps with a Single Click – Lacuna Launcher

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

I think most of you do the same as me. After i boot my PC, I always launch a set of applications. But opening one by one will be a slow process. What if you wish to launch all applications at one go with a single click?

Lacuna Launcher is the free program that allows you to open any number of applications or files with a single click. This can be done by putting all list of files you want to open in a file called “list.txt” which comes with this utility. Lacuna Launcher will then read the list.txt file and start opening all the applications listed in it. The list in the list.txt can include applications (.exe), shortcuts (.lnk), Internet shortcuts (.url), images, music, movies, anything that is a file on your system that you wish to open.
