ASuite / PAM Suggestion

ASuite has an option to run apps when it starts. I'm hoping PAM will eventually have this option as well, so this suggestion is for both.
The option to run an app when the menu starts should also have a prompt option.
i.e. App xyz is set to autolaunch, would you like to launch it. Yes | NO
Also is more than one app has this option checked, the first prompt should be "Run All Apps" | "Select Apps to Launch" So you could either have all the apps set to autolaunch run, or select individual ones. If select apps to launch is selected, rather than a separate prompt for each on, maybe a list with check boxes and a launch button.
I have several apps set to auto launch with ASuite, however I have come across several situations where I don't want to launch 2 or 3 of the one I have set to autolaunch.
Its a convenience feature I realize and will probably be low on the priority list, just thought I would throw the suggestion out there.

Huh?

You want to add a bunch of options dedicated to giving you the choice of whether or not to autolaunch programs you specified to autolaunch? At that point, wouldn't it be faster to just not have an autolaunch at all?

Not in most cases,

Not in most cases,
If I have 10 programs set to autolaunch and only one prompt asking if I want to run them, which would be faster? The prompt or launching all 10 individually?
The "option" is for the occasions when I only want 7 of those 10 to start automatically.
Also if your testing a "Beta" app, you might want it to autolaunch on YOUR PC, but it would be irresponsible to have it autolaunch on someone else's PC since Beta's can still cause problems.

mmmm...

I used KLauncher as my default launcher, then I switched to PAM when this App appeared "in the market" now I'm trying PStart and ASuite... now I think I prefer PStart since there is no new PAM, PStart loads faster and is smaller... but this is just an introduction... I use AppLauncher with PAM, using PStart or ASuite is better because I don't need PAMenu and PAMBackUp folder, and also don't need AppLauncher, but the point is... why I check an App to launch each time I use my PDrive if I'm not going to use it? ...I launch convey, lost, and NoteZilla... Anything else I run it manually from menu...

And... precisely, I try beta versions in other people computers (CyberCafes), because it is supposed that a. I need different configurations to test, and b. I don't want to harm my own PC... Wink

Well, I have ASuite set to

Well, I have ASuite set to automatically launch PAM, Trillian, Convey, WinRAR Unplugged, and a few scripts that change file associations, and substitute drive letters.
Its much more convenient to have the drive letters and file associations set automatically when I plug the drive in. However on occasion I would much rather not have these set as they are already set to something else. Notice I said on occasion, 9 times out of 10 I want them that way so its more convenient to have them autolaunch. But that 1 time out of ten is annoying to have to unset them, then reset them to what they were originally.

Running beta software on other peoples computers without there consent is irresponsible and rude cybercafe or not.

exit.-

¿can't you just "right click" -> exit? I do it sometimes with NoteZilla when I don't need it...

Ok, but those cybercafés uses a thing that erases any change that I do, including registries, etc... even remove and delete anything not in the original install each time you finish your time and the computer restarts...

yes I could exit if it was

yes I could exit if it was an app.
but I can't exit scripts that have already run.

True

Then you should config a hotkey to close it... Blum

Actually with the latest

Actually with the latest release as of 5/4 you don't need those instructions.
Just install to your usb drive.
Use the advanced setup option and tell it not to create shortcuts or uninstall info.
I posted a thread here a few days ago about it.

I have to disagree to this

I have to disagree to this idea. I think it would be easier if you made a .bat file to prompt... Would be easier and not put the majority of people who don't seem to like this idea into an inconvenience.
