I read the previous review and thought I had to try this. I have to disagree strongly. This program presents a large window with a mish-mash of shortcuts only after you click on it in the system tray (or leave it up all the time). This is no faster than just using the windows start menu. I have used Tray Commander for years now on all my computers, it is absolutely the best launcher I have ever used, and DOES have a backup and restore function.

I have tested all the Snapfile Application launcher category items. Most of them do not display 32x32 icons but smaller, harder to find at a glance ones. Some request an extra step to access icons and some even add extra lapse time to access icons, as if productivity tools were supposed to slow down your workflow ... Even worst, more than half softwares in this category do not offer a back-up/restore functionality, which mean that you cannot re-install it other than by re-creating categories and shortcuts manually ! I would not say that LaunchIt Now! has the nicest interface but : - it has a back-up/restore utility ; - it has the quickest system to access the shortcuts ; - shortcuts can be displayed as 32x32 icons, the best trade-off in term of visibility. Best solution over-all. The missing feature is the ability to recursively embed menus in menus. It is essentially a "flat access" system.

I used the free version for over a year and found it a useful tool but the Plus version is more versatile by orders of magnitude. Essentially, the program is a way to organize your programs and folders logically into customized tabs. The interface is excellent and instantly responsive. If you're running a large number of programs of different types and have a loaded desktop, the upgrade is well worth it.
