- Welcome to TopGroup
-
- TopGroup is a fast, low resources program launcher and alternative
- Windows shell. With a minimum of clicks you can launch files without
- navigating Program Manager groups. TopGroup maintains a clean desktop
- by eliminating Program Manager's windows and icons. With TopGroup, you
- click on a single icon - - always on top - - to view a popup menu and run
- your programs. The launch attributes of each program may be configured,
- and system resources are monitored for continuous display. TopGroup's
- icon supports drag-drop launching of files from Windows File Manager.
-
- The registered version of TopGroup provides a startup group, multiple
- program launching via "suites", and customized drag-drop launching from
- the TopGroup icon.
