For me, it’s loading up my Firefox browser,  opening Windows Live Writer and playing some music through iTunes.</p><p>What would you do if I said you would be able to load all these applications  at once, whenever you feel like it?</p><p>Allow me to introduce <a href="http://appsapps.info/lacunalauncher.php" target="_blank">Lacuna Launcher</a>, a windows based application that will allow  you to specify what applications you wish to run, allow you to set a time  between how quickly they launch, and basically just allow you to have specified  shortcuts for certain tools you wish to use at any given time.</p><p><span id="more-1771"></span><img class="lazy alignnone size-full wp-image-1772" src="http://www.maketecheasier.com/wp-content/plugins/mte-image-lazy-loading/images/grey.gif" width="1" height="1" data-src="http://i2.wp.com/imagecdn5.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/lacuna.png?resize=580%2C435" alt="lacuna" data-recalc-dims="1" /><noscript><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1772" src="http://i2.wp.com/imagecdn5.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/lacuna.png?resize=580%2C435" alt="lacuna" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></p><p>Using the application is easy, simply extract the files into a folder and  place that folder in a secure location on your hard drive. Open the text file  named “<em>list</em>” and copy the shortcut paths of the programs you wish to launch.</p><p><img class="lazy alignnone size-full wp-image-1774" src="http://www.maketecheasier.com/wp-content/plugins/mte-image-lazy-loading/images/grey.gif" width="1" height="1" data-src="http://i0.wp.com/imagecdn5.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/list1.png?resize=580%2C89" alt="list1" data-recalc-dims="1" /><noscript><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1774" src="http://i0.wp.com/imagecdn5.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/list1.png?resize=580%2C89" alt="list1" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></p><p>Right click &#8220;<em>ll.exe</em>&#8220;, and select “<em>Create Shortcut</em>”. Copy this shortcut to  your desktop, start menu, quick launch or dock.</p><p>And that’s it, you can now launch as little or as many applications as you  wish. There are more advanced ways to use this program, which can be found  inside the <em>readme.txt</em> file or by clicking <a href="http://appsapps.info/lacunalauncher.php" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p></p><p>The post <a href="http://www.maketecheasier.com/how-to-open-numerous-applications-with-one-click/2008/12/29">How To Open Numerous Applications With One Click</a> appeared first on <a href="http://www.maketecheasier.com">Make Tech Easier</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.maketecheasier.com/how-to-open-numerous-applications-with-one-click/2008/12/29/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <media:content url="http://www.maketecheasier.com/wp-content/plugins/mte-image-lazy-loading/images/grey.gif" medium="image"> <media:title type="html">lacunalauncher</media:title> </media:content> <media:content url="http://i1.wp.com/imagecdn5.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/lacunalauncher.jpg?resize=417%2C111" medium="image"> <media:title type="html">lacunalauncher</media:title> </media:content> <media:content url="http://i0.wp.com/images.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/lacuna.png?resize=800%2C600" medium="image"> <media:alt type="html">lacuna</media:alt> </media:content> <media:content url="http://i1.wp.com/images.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/lacuna.png?resize=800%2C600" medium="image"> <media:alt type="html">lacuna</media:alt> </media:content> <media:content url="http://i2.wp.com/images.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/list1.png?resize=580%2C89" medium="image"> <media:alt type="html">list1</media:alt> </media:content> <media:content url="http://i1.wp.com/images.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/list1.png?resize=580%2C89" medium="image"> <media:alt type="html">list1</media:alt> </media:content> </item> </channel> </rss>
