Product Description:

Application Wizard provides easy access to your applications, documents and pictures.

Application Wizard lets you quickly open, quit, show and hide applications, open them automatically at startup and force them to open using Rosetta, turn single application mode on and quit background-only applications and the Finder.

With Application Wizard you can also navigate volumes and frequently used folders to quickly open enclosed items, easily access favorite files, recent folders, Address Book contacts and your iPhoto or Aperture library, preview images, music, movies and PDF files, copy pictures and display slideshows, view the metadata associated with files and check system memory usage.

What's new in this version:

The automatic showing of all open applications when single application mode is turned off can now be disabled. To keep inactive applications hidden, deselect the Show all when turning single application mode off checkbox in the Menus pane.
The X11 application now appears in the Quit and Switch menus, so that you can re-enter, hide or exit the X11 environment using Application Wizard.
Previews of album covers on Mac OS X 10.5 have been improved.
An incompatibility of the Application Wizard contextual menu plug-in with Interarchy has been fixed. The incompatibility caused Interarchy to crash if you tried to display a file's contextual menu from a listing window.
An incompatibility with Mac OS X 10.5.2 or later that caused Application Wizard to quit after forcing a Universal application to run using Rosetta has been fixed.
A bug that caused Application Wizard to crash when trying to display the Dock Applications submenu if spacers were added to the Leopard Dock has been fixed.
Some other minor fixes have been introduced.

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.
