The icons can be created as floating window. With this method, when the mouse pointer is hovered above icons created by Kana Launcher on Windows system tray, a window which contains icons is displayed. From this window, you can click the icon that represents the program or document, and that particular program or document will be launched.

Other method to launch the programs or documents is by creating a Group Starts. This is a group of several programs or documents which can be launched just by using one mouse click. Group Start is created as one menu item in Kana Launcher popup menu.

To manage the icons and menus created by Kana Launcher is very easy. Kana Launcher recognizes any file added to or deleted from its data folder, so it can update the icons and menus automatically. Kana Launcher itself has capability to manage the icons and menus, although you can also use Windows Explorer to manage them.
