After downloading the zip file "startApplications.zip" you can unpack it and start the application called "startApplication,exe". The configuration file is called "startApplications.ini" and will be generated if it's not there. You can change the applications by drag and drop with any .exe file.
Important: Maybe you'll be asked to update your .net framework. 
In case you have problems finding the download windows deskiop 8.0.1: take this download file, unpack and runi it
download windows desktop 8.0.1 RUNTIME
Important: If you are using Antivirus Software like Norton you will get a Warning. Answer the system that you trust the startapplication.exe program.
​If you have any questions: contact me.
SOURCE CODE
You can find the source code here on Github:
https://github.com/edleijnse/StartApplications.git
and for testing:
https://github.com/edleijnse/startApplicationsTest.git
Feel free to download the sources and clone them to make your own GUI!
The project was done with Windows Presentation Framework and XAML. I programmed in Visual Basic.NET and used Jetbrains AI to get along fast: it was amazing how good the AI worked for me.
HAVE FUN!
