BlueStacks Quick App Launcher

BlueStacks Quick App Launcher

For those that aren't familiar with BlueStacks (BS) it is an Android emulator for the Windows OS. BS allows you to use Android apps on your Windows computer allowing you to free up your mobile devices and also allows developers to test and create their applications while at their computers.

There are many things that can be done with BS and different ways it can be used and one feature I like is being able to run user installed apps from shortcuts in a folder. This makes it possible to run specific apps without starting BS first.

To make running apps even quicker I have created:

BlueStacks Quick App Launcher!

Usage

BlueStacks Quick App Launcher quickly lists any shortcut found in the BS App Folder and allows you to run any app in the list by selecting the app and either hitting Enter or by clicking the 'Start App' button. You can select an app by using the mouse or the directional keys.
