This litle program allows you to launch executables from web pages (read: active desktop themes) without being bothered by a download dialog. It is used by schools, libraries, in internet café's and public kiosk computers to allow users to launch applications in a user-friendly way. The first version of this program was written in VB6, but since the last version the program was rewritten in C#. It's still very small though.
Features:
- Launch programs on your system from within a web page or an Active Desktop theme
- Configuration dialog and integrated security feature
- Windows XP Visual Styles support
- Full installer/uninstaller
The Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 is required for this program!
