ASuite is a lightweight program launcher that allows you to define a hierarchical list of menus for launching applications, folders, and web links from the system tray. Includes search tab, scheduling, hotkeys, most recently used programs list, custom background, automation tools on startup / shut down, and more.
The program can scan for applications or import file structures from WinPenPack, Pstart, and other launchers. Supports relative paths.

I switched to ASuite after many years as a happy PStart user when the PStart.xml file got corrupted a couple of times.
Great software - simple and effective.
Two small nits:
* If you drag a folder into the app, it will rebuild the sub-tree of items in the folder every time the app is started (which takes time). This is easily avoided though by dragging in a shortcut instead of the folder itself.
* If a URL is dragged into the app from a browser, it's initially titled "Link" even though ASuite knows the URL.

Yeah, I switched over to this from PStart for two reasons.
It starts much faster (especially if you have a huge --and growing-- collection of items), and secondly it has this pop-up application info which is a BRILLIANT idea so you can make notes on the fly about each item. In my opinion, pop-out notepads in Application interfaces are great. I can't believe all other software programmers don't see it... It's like having a handy personal Help/Note system one tiny click away from your App. Unfortunately I can't give ASuite 10/10 because of one missing feature... It won't allow you to drag in Web Links (URL's) from the browser...Gee I wish I could program,; I would immediately add this feature.

I love Asuite (V1.5)! It's got everything I need, and for the features i don't need, i can just turn them off.
I've been looking for a launcher that will show the details of a program when I mouse-Over the program (because the names and icons of some programs are not self-explanatory as to what the program actually does, example - "poke!"), and Asuite is the only one to date that comes closest to this by utilizing its 2nd window pane (which in version 1.5 glues itself to the main window). The info is displayed by highlighting the app in the list, not by mouse-over, but it's still better than right-click>properties. Pstart's "additional text" field below every program in the list does the same job, but it only shows 1 type of detail at a time.
Asuite 1.5 comes in the classic window mode and the new pretty "fader menu" mode (looks like a vista start menu) which can be permanently deactivated if you don't like it.
