AppLauncher controls which applications launch when you open your files - and you can lock your current file associations so that intruding programs don't mess up your Windows settings.

AppLauncher: Control File Associations ========================================================== Don't you wish you had more control over which application launches when you double-click on a file? This process is controlled by what Windows calls a file association. For instance, when you double-click on a text file with the ".txt" file extension (you can think of file extensions as representing the type of file), it opens in Notepad. But, what if you wanted it to open the text file in Microsoft Word? It's not easy to do. Also, these file associations can be mangled by programs you download from the Web, which sometimes force Windows to launch the program of their choice when you double-click on a certain file type (digital media players are major offenders in this area). AppLauncher, our latest premium utility, gives you the power to control which application launches when you double- click on a file, by letting you easily change your file associations in Windows. It also has the ability to lock down these settings in Windows, thereby preventing any other programs from messing up your preferences. Welcome back to the driver's seat. If you download AppLauncher, whether you like it or not, come back to the article and click on "Rate it Yourself" (just underneath the "Download Now" link). Let everyone know what you think. -> Read the article and download now: http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1045-12-17-81364-96293-1 ========================================================== II. Web Historian: Save & Share Web Pages ========================================================== Finding what you're looking for on the World Wide Web is tough, finding it again if you didn't save it, can be even tougher-even impossible. The content on some Web sites is temporary, at best. The situation is worse on some pages, where online shopping receipts generated specifically for your browser session disappear into oblivion when you shut down your PC. So how do you save important online information before it's gone? Web Historian, our premium utility for July, to the rescue. It gives you the power to save online information easily so that it's within reach whenever you need it. -> Read the article and download now: http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1045-12-17-81364-96299-1 ========================================================== III. Recent Updates, Bug-Fixes and Investigations ========================================================== I'm going to do something a little different this week here, and that is, ask you a question about what we should update. Are you a fan of one or more of our older utilities? If so, would you like to see it updated with new functionality? Drop into the discussion I just started, and let me know. We're looking to update one or more utilities for the coming year - let me know which one you'd like to see at the top of that list.
