FLS Launcher – Application Manager
Are you sick and tired of having a cluttered desktop? Are you waisting 2 or 3 minutes of valuable time just searching for a particular file or program?
Well, there are many solutions out there. However, the latest and most efficient I have come across is the ‘FSL Launcher’.
Why is this so efficient compared to other products you might ask. Well it was Lifehacker who first brought this application to my attention.
The main purpose of FLS Launcher is to aid in accessing files, folders and applications. However, FLS does this in a way that is both appealing to the user, and easy to use, with its simple yet impressive interface.
What I liked about this application is its ability to group shortcuts. You can have many different groups, such as Programs, Games, Internet, Misc, Music, Movies, Utilities. . . the list goes on. Simply put you create whatever group names you want, then they appear as tabs which you can simply switch between. Once the groups have been made you can then add shortcuts for anything you want, any files, folders, and applications.
If you wish, you can then back up these groups and shortcuts to a portable drive and restore them if for some reason you need to re install your OS, or you un-install the program, and then wish to install it again.
FLS launcher can be launched by clicking on the system tray icon or by simply moving your mouse to the upper left corner of the screen.
There is also a donation version available, but most of the features are in the free version. The donation version adds in keyboard shortcuts and some customization options, but most users will find the free version more than enough.
Don’ t write it off as just another app manager. This has some serious advantages over other app managers and is free. It’ s definitely something that is worth a try. If you don’t find it useful, you can simply un-install it. Nothing lost by just trying it.
