Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system.

We had a previous version on September 20th, 2011
Here are the old reviews:

A Danish company with name$address and a nice company history:

After start the program resides in the windows tray. From there you can add items, e.g. programs to start. In the pro version (today's GiveAway) you can define administrator rights, a working directory and some additional setting. The program window can be called by a shortkey or the right click on the symbol. You can group and reorder the programs you add to the program launcher. This is done on an "oldfashioned" way.

I would like to have these program in a "startmenu", not an additional symbol in the task tray.
Does what it claims, a simple program. If you have a good start menu, you don't need this. If you don't have, you can test this little program to see, if it fits to your demands.

Uninstalled via reboot.

Hmm another application launcher.There are loads of free options but I will give it a try, to be fair, it's a decent piece of software.Thanks to the developer for providing this free and of course,GAOTD. A few freebie options I would like to suggest, which do a lot more than what's on offer for just a day(take a hint developers) :

1)Cherbox http://www.cherbox.net/support/ I really liked this concept of a simple box storing URLs, files,folders,desktop shortcuts,applications, passwords, reminders, photos,notes,encryption-supported and it's portable.For those who like simple things in life.

2)Appetizer http://app.etizer.org/ visually appealing program launcher and it's portable as well

3)XLaunchPad http://www.xwidget.com/ (careful while installing)

4)http://www.8start.com/ Portable app launcher, Notes organizer, in built-timer, skinable and eye-candy(Careful while installing)

5)http://www.pendriveapps.com/portable-application-launcher-start-menu/ Slightly old but works well

For searching/Launching anything in your hard disk :
http://blaze-wins.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=features Launches Applications.Browses the File-System and the Web.Searches for stuff on the Web.Performs calculations.Performs in-place calculations.Performs base conversion.Creates emails on-the-fly.Inserts quick texts.

As a program launcher this one is pretty good. However it faces plenty of competition from both paid and free alternatives. The publisher itself offers both a free and pro version though it is hard to find exactly what the difference are between the free and pro version. You can turn the program into a portable version by following the directions here...

Thank you GOTD team and Microsys.

For Portable Application this type of softwares are really helpful for quick launching.

I always try to find the portable version of any Program . Sometime I try to make the portable version from the installer exe files.

We can use PORTABLE APPS PLATFORM smoothly for the programs having .paf.exe extension ( which are available at PORTABLEAPPS.COM ) .

But for other Portable Programs we can find lots of other Freeware Launcher.
Alongwith Quick Cliq there are
1) PORTABLE LAUNCHY

2)PORTABLE START MENU

3) LAUNCHBAR
4) PStart

But I manually place the shortcut of a App to the Start Menu Directory which is also an alternative option.
