Mouse Launch - small launcher for Windows

This is a small launcher program that I made to appear under the mouse pointer when the middle mouse button is clicked. The buttons are labeled with just one letter to keep the size very small.

Here is what it launches:
C: - ccleaner
E: - explorer
F: - firefox
I: - Internet Explorer
T: - task manager
V: - volume control
L: - logoff windows
R: - Restart windows
S: - Shutdown windows

Hotkeys:
Alt-Space: Hide all windows
Alt-X: Show hidden windows
Lctrl-wheelup: Maximize window
Lctrl-wheeldown: Minimize window
Lctrl-Mbutton: Close window
Lctrl-Rbutton: Switch to next open task

Has hotkey support for various functions such as controlling volume. It stays hidden in ur taskbar tray until you press the middle mouse button. Has a built in Boss Key for privacy.
