What is Open Sesame?

Open Sesame is a revolutionary new program for Windows 95 that forever ends the hassle of searching the start menu to execute your favorite programs. Open Sesame allows you to create and save a list of your favorite programs that enables you to execute them quickly and easily. This program is ideal for those of you who frequently open and close programs or have a large number of shortcuts in your start menu. Once you try it out, it is very likely that its simplicity will cause you to dread having to go to the start menu ever again. For a screenshot (253K) click here.



So what makes it so useful?

Open Sesame is jam-packed with time-saving features. The new version 3.1 now supports launching multiple programs simultaneously! In addition, 4 preset buttons now enable you to quickly open various lists. These can be used to switch between lists that represent different users or contain different program bundles (i.e. Internet, Entertainment, Work, etc.) As an added feature, a System menu now allows you to shutdown, reset, or log off your computer without having to go through the start menu. And for added convenience, this program will now minimize into the tool tray to prevent desktop clutter. All this, AND the ability to launch any file on your computer that has an association! You can launch website addresses from Open Sesame, and your Internet browser will open and head directly to that address. Create a list of all the documents you need, and they are just a double-click away! Never again experience the frustration of having a Recent Documents folder full of all the documents you DON'T want. Add a .doc file to your list, and Open Sesame will launch Word. Add a .bmp and it will open Paint (or whichever program is associated with a bitmap on your computer). The possibilities are endless! In this new version, a real help file is included, as opposed to the make-shift ones of the past, to further your productiveness.



Sounds Great! Where do I get it?

You can download the latest version (Version 3.1) of Open Sesame by clicking the link below. Please try downloading from the ftp site first since Geocities can sometimes be slow. Because Open Sesame is shareware, if you use it for longer than 30 days, you will be expected to register. With a registration fee of only $10, you can't afford to miss this time-saving opportunity. Upon registering you will receive a code to "unlock" your version of Open Sesame, which will disable the annoying nag screen and show that you are a registered user (as well as make you feel better inside).
