Launchpad 95 lets you launch applications at the click of a button.

The object menu of the objects in the Launchpad can be accessed
by right clicking on the button representing the object.

PROPERTIES:
===========


Select Properties option from the Launchpad object menu to display 
the properties dialog box. 

Object Association:

The properties dialog box displays all the folders on the desktop 
including the subfolders within these folders as a treeview. Select
a folder or subfolder to associate with the launchpad. When
you close the dialog box the launchpad would display all the 
objects within the associated folder in the launchpad.	

Alignment:

Launchpad can be aligned on any one of the four sides of the desktop.
The launchpad can be aligned either by selecting the side
from the object menu or selecting the side in the properties
dialog box. 

No. of Rows and Cols:

The No. of rows attribute in the Properties dialog box applies
only if the launchpad is either top or bottom aligned. 

The No. of columns attribute in the Properties dialog box applies
only if the launchpad is either left or right aligned. 

The No. of rows and No. of columns attribute is used only
as an approximation. Other factors which effect the placement of
buttons other than these attributes are
	The number of buttons, 
	The size of the buttons and
	The size of the launchpad itself.

Autohide Attribute:

The autohide attribute has not been implemented yet. This feature
will be enabled in the future.


TOOLTIPS:
=========
The Long Name of an object in the Launchpad is displayed as a tooltip.
To view the tooltip of an object click on the launchpad to make it 
active and move the mouse pointer on to the button representing the 
object.

Tooltips provide an easy mechanism to find otu what button represents
what object until you are familiar with the icons in the buttons.

Another way to get to know the buttons is to have the Name displayed
in the buttons. But this may result in occupying a significant portion
of the desktop depending on the number of buttons in the Launchpad.

FEATURES TO BE ADDED IN THE NEXT VERSION:
=========================================
    The next version is in the works now. Some of the features you may
    see in the next version are:
	* Your suggestions 
	* Drag and drop support
	* Start Menu Button of the Windows 95 Task Bar
	* Active Windows List
	* Active process list with Process control - terminate etc.
	* Ability to explore folders in the launchpad either as menus 
	  or as list views/icon views easily.
	* Autohide attribute.
