AppQuickLauncher
AppQuickLauncher is a tool that can quickly launch apps by clicking the app tray icon.
On Windows 7 or Windows 10, we can add a folder that contains app shortcuts to task bar, see
But on Windows 11, that can't work anymore.
So I wrote a tool using PyQt5 that does the same thing, when clicking the app tray, it shows a list of apps and can quickly lanuch them.
Modify the config file, it's json format. Add a new app info and restart AppQuickLauncher.pyw. Modify taskbar property, make python icon always show on taskbar.
