fllow

fllow is a PowerShell script to support "Fluent log on to Windows" or "Fluent launching apps on Windows". fllow starts registered apps' shortcuts sequentially without CPU usage overloads.

Usage

Basic usage

1. Put fllow.ps1 to your folder
2. Create sub-folder 01_shortcuts under the folder which has fllow.ps1
3. Put shortcuts to launch into 01_shortcuts

And invoke fllow.ps1 by PowerShell. Applications which have put their shortcuts into 01_shortcuts will be launched sequentially without CPU usage overloads.

It can be improve your logon experience to put application shortcuts into 01_shortcuts instead of your startup folder and register fllow.ps1 to your startup folder.

Applications will be launched in num-alphabetical order by shortcuts' name.

Tips

Control launch order absolutely and easily

Add numerical prefix like as 00_ to shortcuts' name. Application which has least number in its prefix will be launched at first, and application which has most number in its prefix will be launched at last.

Applications will be launched in num-alphabetical order by shortcuts' name. So numerical prefix in shortcuts' name can control launch order perfectly.

Example

• 00_MicrosoftTeams.lnk
• 01_Outlook.lnk
• 02_Chrome.lnk

In this example, Teams will be launched at first, Outlook will be launched next, and Chrome will be launched at last.
