This could be a nice 'Pendrive Menu' but I've had problems with lost menu data.
Also, it would be nice if, when set up with 2 or 3 different menus, you don't have to jump from the left to the right or top, bottom or the corners, to access a different menu. Perhaps using 'CTRL' or 'ALT' or 'Shift' etc together with the mouse might give the menu a bit more flexibility.

Mainly though, I would say sort out the stability problem of lost info.

Oh, just another thing.
When you try to get to the 'Hidden Menu Homepage' from the 'Info' tab within the program, you get a web site, [http://home.i-cable.com/lokinwai/], which seems to be Chinese.

Great little app but it doesn't seem to support variable drive letters
And after spending an hour setting it up perfectly that's kinda pissed me right off :)

Sorted, had to edit the ini file, works like a charm now, just what I was after

This might lack some of the flair of other AppLaunchers but if you're a function over style kind of user - this one is hard to beat.

Excellent classic program. Use it for a lot of engineering conversions.

Technomancer on 2010-10-07 16:33

I Love It
BUT
I set up a 'custom' unit and because it's written to the registry the settings were lost when i ran it on my Dads laptop.
Any chance of writing to an INI file?

PINS is a great program that I've bee using for years. I just wish it was available for the android. Google would do well to look at this.
