Benefits of using PhraseExpress as a Program Launcher:

  • You do not need to install yet another application for that task.
  • You can also open file folders or websites by shortcuts
  • You can share your program launch shortcuts with others with the PhraseExpress Network Edition
  • The program launch feature can be combined with any other PhraseExpress macro function.
  • PhraseExpress is free-of-charge for personal use.
