If I'm reading you correctly I have to open my folder and run the programs from there as .exe program files ?

What I would like to do is to move single programs from within any folder to other parts of my computer like say 'My Documents' in Windows and run them from there as standalone .exe or even say as part of an opening 'Welcome' page if that is feasible ?

Many thanks - Austin
