What is DSTLaunch



DSTLaunch is an application toolbar for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 and above. It's main purpose is to allow easier access to your files and programs.

For more information please see the online manual's Introduction

Who Should Use DSTLaunch



DSTLaunch was built for those who have experience using CLI ( Command Line Interfaces ) and believe that a CLI still has benefits in this age of GUI's.

If you are squeamish about using a DOS Prompt, then DSTLaunch is definitely not for you. But if you like typing and find command line switch to be a godsend from all those check boxes, you might just like it :).

What's The Current Version?



DSTLaunch is currently in beta, beta 3 is being released to the public to get feed back from users so that I can improve what I have.

How Do I Contact DarkStar Technologies?

I will try and respond to your mail, however the priority goes as follows: REGISTRATIONS, BUGS, REQUEST FOR NEW FEATURES, GENERAL COMMENTS, COMPLAINTS.
