A Windows program that launches multiple others in succession
================TYPICAL USE====================
- Drag ProgramLauncher.exe to the directory of the application you want to replace. (Eg. MPC-HC.exe)
- Rename the program you want to replace to "filename_orig.exe" (without quotes). (Eg. MPC-HC_orig.exe)
- Start ProgramLauncher while holding CTRL (or just double click if there is no ProgLaunch_Config in the same directory)
- Click the "Browse" button and specify the .exe file you just renamed.
- Click the "+" button in the top right hand corner of the window and a new section for an addition program will be added.
- Specify a new .exe file to run at the same time as the original .exe. (Eg. SVP.exe) (optional) 7. Repeat steps 5-6 as many times as necessary.
- Close and Save all changes made to ProgramLauncher.
- Rename ProgramLauncher.exe to the name of the original renamed program (Eg. ProgramLauncher => MPC-HC.exe)
- Double click on the renamed ProgramLauncher and all the specified programs will open!
Note: When the initial application is closed, all the other opened programs will also close.
====================HELP=======================
- On First startup (if there is no ProgLaunch_Config.xml file), ProgramLauncher will open directly to the settings
- To enter ProgramLauncher settings, hold CTRL as you start the program.

- ProgramLauncher also passes arguments through to the "Replaced Program" (Eg. vlc.exe "C:\Videos\sample.mp4")
- ProgramLauncher IS COMPATIBILE with Steam and the Steam overlay
- You can specify arguments for any program to be always passed to the application being launched.
