			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Apps for the New Year (NANY</ins>) is the motto of the <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/nany2009/">Nany Challenge</a> over at Donation Coder. It&#8217;s already the second year of the challenge and lots of new software programs have been released during that challenge. To be precise: 35 new and free software programs have been released which more than doubled the count of <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/nany2008/">last year</a>. Each application can be downloaded right away from the Donation Coder website and works without registration or other inconveniences.</p>
<p>We have already covered two of the applications and would like to recommend a few more that might be interesting to try out. <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=15942.0">Comparer</a> is a file comparison tool that can compare (among other things) all file properties. <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=15975.0">File Replicator</a> is another interesting program. It can search for a certain file in a selected folder and replace that file with another one. Think of updating files that reside in multiple locations on the computer&#8217;s hard drive.</p>
<p>I do not want to spoil the fun of exploring all those new programs. What you find there is a wide variety of software programs from Notepad++ plugins to cryptographic applications and a dog breeding records keeper. It is definitely worth a visit; And who knows, maybe you find the program there that you have been searching for all of your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is not really a shortage of software applications launchers in Windows. Users have lots of choice from relying on program shortcuts and the Windows Startmenu to keyboard launchers like Launchy to interfaces like 8start. 8start is a software applications launcher and note taking application in one. It comes with several interfaces and provides lots of possibilities to customize the interface like setting the transparency level of the software program.</p>
<p>The software program uses groups that can contain links to files, folders or web resources. Each group can be designed differently. The web resources could for instance display only the link text while the software applications display only the icon of the software. Icons and text can be combined as well and there are numerous ways to alter the appearance of practically any item in a group.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.8start.com">8start</a> makes use of so called categories which can contain a number of groups each. Categories can be flipped like pages which means it is possible to create a smaller interface that is making use of pages to contain the same amount of information than a larger interface.</p>
<p><span id="more-7005"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/software_applications.jpg" alt="software applications" title="software applications" width="251" height="354" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7006" /></p>
<p>The status of each partition of the computer system can be displayed in the interface as well. It can be used to quickly access a drive. Each item displayed, be it application, web resource, folder or partition can be loaded with a single left-click of the computer mouse.</p>
<p>The note taking application uses a tree structure for the note taking. The main interface contains the keywords which when left-clicked will open a bigger Word-like document that can contain text and pictures that can be formatted using basic word processing controls.</p>
<p>A keyboard shortcut can be configured to bring the 8start interface up when needed so that it does not have to be visible on the desktop all the time.</p>
<p>8start is a sophisticated software applications launcher that is compatible to all Windows NT operating systems from Windows 2000 to Windows Vista.</p>
