No fancy interface. Feel free to cry now. Here's a simple program manager I wrote, because I didn't like any of the others out there. Here it is for anyone who might want it. It's pretty straight forward, use the Setup window to edit the INI, then your apps will be in the designated areas. Ignore the About, I wrote some of that when I intended to release it with some programs included.

If you get an error saying you are missing a .ocx file:

This is a link that you download the TABCTL32.OCX file and you put it in ur manager folder and the error is fixed. WALLA

Updates:
Updated 12/10 (Update 2) - Added Open windows to setup, now you don't have to copy and paste the file paths
Update 2: Made a quick 'How to guide' within the application (Ctrl + G)

***Source Code Notice: Don't bother messing with it if you don't know your way around VB, it is pretty easy to understand if you do though, Add another tab to the setup, add some textboxes and buttons, name them correctly, add them to the Setup code in the same way the rest are, and add a new menu option to the Default form.

I've already tried it, it rocks my socks. Good job, Tural-guy.

Very nice, is there a way to add more than 6 programs in each section? I haven't tried adding more than 6, but I only saw 6 slots in the UI.

Yea, I also already tried it aswell. I will have to configure it sometime good job .

8 actually, when I get the rest of the source I'll release it also, so you can add more.

Edit 2: Source code in first post

this would be better if you got all of them too work but i guess your working on it anyway really good keep it up

I think it looks nice, I would suggest making it bigger (For those of us who use huuge screens).. Also, maybe just make it like Antman's.. Have it come with programs, because I haven't figured out how to add them yet..

It may be because I didn't read something, or I'm a noob.. or something..

Its easy, enter the filepath into the field where it asks for it and type the name you want that program to have (Make sure the filpath end with the executable)

They all work, retard.

u could make it better and have an commondialog so u dont need to find the file and get the path manually u can just select

Good idea, I didn't think of that, I'll add that tonight or tommorrow.

i got some run time error hmm do i have to have someting other than .net framwork like the programmers version ??? hmmm hmmm any one?

i cant figure this out lol i put the target in place of where urs are but i still get a run time error

You don't even need .Net framework for this.

sorry that was a n00bish moment of mine i know that i just have to paste the target of the file to the text documet but it gave me an error message so im confused

Explain exactly what you did, starting from when you open the application, to when you get the error.

ok i un rared the file then clicked on setup got an error,Run-time error 339
there is more to the error but w/ever then i went to sections then editors then there was nothin there (because i had not set the programs in place)
then i got a config txt document so i downloaded the sorce used his but changed the targets for my programs but it still didnt work.....

In reply to your topic: Simplicity is the best. I love this program!! I have used it all day since i saw it and it is simply awesome. In the immortal words of my anus: I love you.

I love you too.

Update 12/10 - Added Open dialogs to the setup tab so you don't need to copy and paste the application paths anymore. (Thanks to high6 for the idea)

Im guessing it's missing the Tabbed ocx, like tbdlg.ocx or something, it's included with the source code.
