Product Information :
Multiple Launcher X is an Mac OS X-native application allowing users to create a stand-alone launcher that can open multiple items, including web sites, e-mails, documents, applications and folders.  Multiple Launcher X also allow users to create aliases to open documents from customized applications, for example, you can ask Preview to open the Photoshop documents.  The editor fully supports drag&drop feature.  The launcher is a very small stand-alone file, and can work on both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X.

Why you need the Multiple Launcher X? For example, you may browse seven web sites every morning.  Multiple Launcher can let your open all with a single click.  You don't need to open seven bookmarks any more.
