A beautiful way of accessing your apps from your Windows desktop.
XLaunchpad is a Windows desktop enhancement utility which transform your Windows desktop into something which resembles the layout, look and feel of Mac OS X. It includes a launcher with beautiful graphics.
The launcher here provides you with the ability to manage shortcuts to files, folders and other items easily.
Using XLaunchpad is quite simple. Just download it and extract the program. Once you've got it running, you can modify the size of icons, activate it from the system tray (or by hitting F12) and drag-and-drop items to create shortcuts.
One good thing about XLaunchpad is the fact that it does not require you to modify any Windows settings or registry entries. That means you are not required to "switch over" permanently to the Mac-look and are able to use it either as a fun novelty, as often as you'd like.
Overall, if you want to have the look of Mac OS X on your Windows PC desktop, then XLaunchpad is an easy and non-permanent way to accomplish that.
