Game Launcher 1.0.1.15

Game Launcher is a configurable 10 button application launcher. It allows for applications to be launched from any location with control over how the application is started. The application allows for arguments to be passed to the application as well as the ability to control how the application window is launched (Maximied, Minimized, Normal). I wrote this to launch games but it can handle any application executables.






The new application window has been converted to Verdana font, and some slight window style changes.



I have also cleaned up and expanded the Help.

Requirements

- .NET Framework (3.5 Recommended, may not work with older versions)
- Windows 7 32/64 bit Operating System (un-tested on XP, but will probably work fine).

This application should work fine on removable devices like thumbdrives, as long as the PC has .net on it. I have not done any testing on removable media, however just make sure you use relative 'Target's. For example instead of using X:\apps\pidgin\pidgin.exe use \apps\pidgin.exe.
