Creative Launcher
Creative Launcher allows you to organize your desktop and open Creative applications quickly.
The Creative Launcher is installed at the top of your screen. If it does not appear, move your mouse
pointer to the top of the screen. As the pointer reaches the top of the screen, it changes to a pointing hand
and the Creative Launcher displays as a bar window. The Launcher consists of the System Menu icon
(the Creative logo at the top left corner), the web site icon, the group tab pages, and the group items. The
Environmental Audio icon also appears in the right corner.
Options To set the options for the Launcher:
1. Click the System Menu icon on the Launcher.
2. On the System menu, click Properties. The Properties dialog appears.
3. Select or clear the desired options.
4. Click the OK button to apply the changes to the Launcher.
Groups You can place three kinds of items on the Launcher:
Subgroups
•Shortcuts
Plugins
A subgroup is an item within a group that may contain more items.
The installation creates a number of group tab pages in the Launcher that may contain shortcuts to
Creative applications such as PlayCenter and Control Panel.
A plugin is a Creative software module that is integrated into the Launcher. Examples are the Volume
Control plugin and the Command Line plugin.
Use the System menu on the Launcher to add, delete, and rearrange groups and items within each group
on the Launcher.
