CNET Editors' review
Looking for a way to access your favorite Windows applications and files quickly? Well, Qsel from Horst Schaeffer's Software Pages just might be the app for you. The simple tool, which is both free and portable, is capable of creating an unlimited number of categories with individualized launcher window settings.
Qsel, which can also be used for documents and other file types, needs no installation. Just extract it and it's ready to go. The tool has a very simple interface that is easy to understand. All you need to do is drag and drop apps or files to the program launcher. Right-clicking provides you with access to all of the available options. To speed up the process even more, you can also assign hot keys to open up apps even faster.
Qsel is perfect for individuals who need quick access to applications that they tend to use frequently. We found no issues with installing and removing the application.

You can create as many categories (or groups) you want and add them via drag and drop all icons that serve to build a launcher of programs in a simple and fast.
In view of the above, I attach myself to the program 5 stars (and also to the portable that works equally well. -
"Exactly what I want!"
Version: Qsel 2.10
Pros
Small, fast, no installation, consumes negligible system resource, keyboard and mouse functional.
Cons
Almost none. Cannot switch among categories with a key-stroke.
Summary
Simple, fast, accessible, configurable, easy to set up. Uses negligible system resource when minimized. Instant activation with a hot key. If you want a start-menu to work for you right away, this is it! Maybe too simple for some people, but that?s exactly what I want. If only you can switch among categories with just a key-stroke.
