Quote:About:
I wrote this app as an alternative to silentlaunch
When the app is first run, it will assist in creating a
config file in the root directory "al.cfg". If the al.cfg file exists,
the app will stay hidden and launch the programs in the config file list.

Features:
1.) Root directory is not hard coded, it is checked by the app.
2.) There is no black console box that pops up when run. It is completely hidden.
3.) File paths are checked when creating the config file.
4.) Spaces in the path are not an issue, as the app will automatically wrap the path and parameters in quotation marks.

Usage:
1.) Copy app to the root directory.
2.) Run the app and select the programs you want to launch. Add parameters if needed.
3.) Set it as shell by what ever means suits you fancy, InstantSheller or other.

Important!
I am unable to error check the parameters the user passes so make sure they are right.

My app is clean and simple. Please post any thoughts on improvements.
Currently, only able to test on XP.
Thanks to the XBMC Team for such an excellent MC alternative.
Hi friend,

Your application is a great use for me. Thanks for providing that. Can you please provide an example on how can I add parameters to the exe files? I tried but failed. Sad
Amazing, works perfectly with Windows 7 (32 bits)!!!

Just one question: it is possible to add timout for launch apps?

For example:

C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe -d 10

It is possible!? Thanks!
