2. Select or clear the desired options.
3. Click the OK button to apply the changes to the Launcher.

Groups

You can place three types of items in Launcher:

• Subgroups
• Shortcuts
• Plug-ins

A subgroup is an item within a group that may contain more items.

A plug-in is a Creative software module that is integrated into Launcher. Examples are the Volume Control Plugin and the Command Line Plugin.

The installation creates a number of group tabs in Launcher that may contain shortcuts to Creative applications such as PlayCenter and Control Panel. It may also contain shortcuts to other applications for your hardware settings, volume control, help files, or demonstration programs by Creative.

For details on managing groups and items in Launcher, see its online help.
