A bug that could cause Application Wizard to crash under particular circumstances when buttons were dragged out of the menu panel or menu bar has been fixed.

Cannot add preference panes to group - Version: 2.3.2, 8/9/2008 02:15PM PST

Ok, I tried to reduce the startup time by creating a startup group and adding apps that were getting loaded during login. I am unable to add preference panes, daemons, etc to the group so I can lazy load them as I don't really need them the very second I login. But when I navigate to Library/PreferencePanes, all the items under it are grayed out whereas I need to navigate well deeper into say: LazyMouse Preference pane > Content > Resources > LazyMouse but I can't even get past Library/PreferencePanes because they are grayed out. Drag-n-drop items is not enabled either. So, although I was able to add a few items to my startup group, I am really confused if it is reducing the startup time and saving me any time or is it really worth it. What's the reason adding preferences panes, daemons, etc is disabled? Without this option, I don't think this application is replete with features... Are the developers going to add these features to it?

I bought this software shortly after buying my new Mac over a year ago because I need a faster method to manage OS X. I don't know how anyone can navigate OS X efficiently without Application Wizard.

This is one of those apps that should be part of the OS. Discrete, unobtrusive, and a time saver.
I like to combine the pop-up menu feature mentioned by drtimothyjames with different Groups I create. So for example, I have an "Internet" group and I can launch and/or quit any or all of the applications in the group.
More recently I decided to clean up my login items and created a group for some those items. Now my startup time is faster, and if/when I want those other applications, they're just a shortcut and a click away. In addition, users can customize the behavior of individual applications.
Highly recommended.
