Yes, that's why I mentioned it. It is excellent. Bear Bottoms found it
some while ago. Programs start in 1/3rd of the time plus what I said
previously. The command line can be placed anywhere on the desktop and
locked. Easy to use. Highly recommended.


Probably too difficult for za kAT to get his brain cell around though.

Better late than never I guess.

Laughable.

Been using it for more years than Bottoms been around. It's useful to list
bat files and such.

An example of the time it takes to start a program:

I have a large application that takes about 9-10secs to start the GUI
via a regular Windows shortcut. But using SlickRun the GUI is up on the
screen ready for use within 3secs. I used to think the delay was caused
by the graphics sub-system, but clearly it's Windows.

Most other programs show a similar improvement in start-up time using
SlickRun MagicWords.

This gives you an insight into the processing overhead imposed by the
Windows shortcut process.

I agree, but it's not the first clinically insane post you've made and
it won't be the last. I'm sure about that.
