PoE Launcher is similar to a program shortcut but with extra abilities. PoE Launcher can automate launching, closing and tweaking the client program window. It also can load links to files from a QuickLinks folder into a menu for easy access to often used tools.

• Launch a target Program: Launch PoE
• Click for a popup that will ask to close the launched program windows
• Click to Tweak the Window Resolution (Hotkey: F10)
• QuickLink menu for related shortcut/tools
  • You can add *.exe, *.lnk, *.ahk, *url, files into the Quicklinks folder
  • If the Quicklinks folder is empty or doesn't exist it won't be included in the menu's.
• Set Process Level: AboveNormal, Normal, BelowNormal

• AutoLoad the target program on Startup (checked=on, unchecked=off)
• AutoClose the target program on Exit (checked=on, unchecked=off)
• AutoSet the target program process level on Startup (checked=on, unchecked=off)
• AutoTweak the target program window on Startup (checked=on, unchecked=off)

• The left win key is diabled while the launched process is the active window
• F10 will trigger the TweakWindow function

• launcherTitle=PoE
  • the text shown of what is being launched "Launch PoE" for example.
• processMax=1
  • is the number of client processes allowed, default is 1 but this can be any value.
    • Path of Exile allows 2 max client processes
• loadDelay=3500
  • is the delay after runing the client before attempting to do other actions such as "TweakWindow"
    • if TweakWindow on start is not working properly adjust this value (usually increase it).
• Both tweakWindowWidth=1920 and tweakWindowHeight=1030 can be edited/saved and the new values be used in the TweakWindow() functionality.

By default everything is turned off if you run the app and click on a menu item, it will trigger the action and save any potential settings. If a menu item is checked/bold that means it is on/active other wise it is off/disabled.

The code is mostly not tied to just 'path of exile' so if you'd like to try it for other games that should work fine. I would just use other icons and a unique program name/title. To try it copy the folder/files replace the icons as needed, and edit config.ini. You'll need to edit the paths and will require a program like winspy to help you find the windowTitle and windowClass values.

  • He showcased the HD Resolution autohotkey macro on his youtube channel that I cleaned up and adapted for the tweakwindow function.
