Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This simple application allows you to add program shortcuts to your system tray icon, although at times the program bogs down computer memory. Upon installation, Kana Launcher docks itself in your system tray while allowing the user to quickly access the program's pop-up menu. By opening the program's data folder, you can drag and drop program shortcuts to any of the three subfolders. You can create program shortcuts as floating icons, tray icons, or other menu items under the Kana Launcher's main menu. You can also create a quick-launch item to run several applications or files with user-defined time intervals. We found the program very handy, as it makes accessing frequently used programs very easy. Users also can manage program shortcuts in one place in its tabbed, easy-to-use main window. With its quick-access functionality, this freeware can be a great desktop add-on for power users.Publisher's description

The icon management can be easily done from Windows Explorer by using the built-in functions or by drag-and-drop.

Version: Kana Launcher 3 build 29
Pros: Pro: Good Concept. Tidy looking software.
Cons: Con: Non intuitive. I just missed my old Right-Click freeware which allowed me to build a powerful array of right-button options (search/find anything in anything, copy anything to anywhere, etc). Kana offered to help me build a right-button pop-up menu and, while I assme it works, it only seemed to be for uber-geeks who could decipher the cryptic operations.

"very handy to clean the desktop"
Summary: This is a very good program. Popup figure is very handy.
Just two things to say it is not perfect:
-a bit of a memory hog
-popup menus appear in alphabetical order and not in user order - See all 2 user reviews Write review
