(alt) PrgLnch:
What does it do?
Spoiler
Features:
  • Selectable Resolution for Prg
  • Batch Processing of Prgs
  • Prg Info Stored in ini File
  • Support for Prg on Multiple Displays
  • Http Download to Update Prg
  • Optional LAA patch which can be Applied to Prg
  • An Additional Serving of Delectable Oddities Available to Prg of Limited Perceivable Use
...
Accompanied by a bunch of explanatory ramblings wrapped up in a contextual help file.

What to do?
Extract exe and run. Creates an ini file if one does not exist, else most extant ini files from 1.X are compatible.
Choose an empty slot to drag in or select desired program, and/or refer Help=->Getting Started.

Extra: Exclusively for Bethesda Game Tragics:

Most players of Bethesda games would be happy with the popular mod launchers for executables- PrgLnch offers more flexibility for the more advanced modder, particularly in how the modding apps perform.
  • Dedicated LnchPad Slots for each game
  • Batch Presets for specific tasks
  • Power Plans in Batch Runs
  • Multi Monitor Support
  • Much more

This is still in late Beta, so please post anything that doesn't seem right to you!
  • The mods have to be already installed on the rig before PrgLnch can use them.
  • Extra LnchPad Slots can be setup to run for executable mods with command line options e.g. XEdit or Wrye Bash.
  • As opposed to running a combination of game mods by themselves, it's not recommended to launch the actual games (or script extender launchers) in a Batch Preset along with other Prgs, unless the game itself is the last to launch in the batch. A Batch Preset with just the game by itself, or its extender launcher is also a good option, with astute regard to the launch settings in the PrgLnch Options.
  • The 12 mods for each game were chosen mainly on popularity and usability. As the choice was subjective, suggestions to the inclusion of alternative LnchPad Slots are very welcome.
Changelog:
Spoiler
3.1:
  • Correct hang on certain resolution sets.
  • Remove unnecessary resolution mismatch dialogs.
  • Fix reading of Skyrim (SSE) registry install key.
  • Updated help file.
  • Plus a tiny troupe of dishevelled oddities.
Wishlist:
  • Employ the Windows search indexing to assist name/file searches for integration?? with FileSelectFile.
  • Handle Browser Windows.
  • More options in window border management.
  • AHK 2.0 conversion
  • Better handling of Window sizes/positions in Monitors.
  • Prg memory graphics.
  • Command Line Version with console window to augment/replace gui version
Related: Issues at the Github repo.
Requirements: Windows- (Mostly)

@SnowFlake: Thanks, yep, it was actually a bit buggy. The current iteration doesn't work well at all on other monitors. Looking at getting a new version up on the weekend.
The description in help "Getting Started" definitely has a wall-o-text feel to it. Perhaps a few pics in there to open it up some. :)

It's been a bit of a bug Squishathon since the initial release, and in the interim have expanded the content in the bundled help file to ease a new subscriber into a relative feeling of familiarity with the workings of it.
1.3.1 is stable, enjoy. :)

It looked like there was enough for version 3.0, but no, there had to be a tutu version first:

OP updated on the details.

Is there any way to run this via COMMAND LINE? Without the GUI?
This would be invaluable to have.

So sort of functionality where you create a config in the gui and then run it via cmd.

If its code is available and open source you should be able to strip its GUI. Good luck :mrgreen:

Good idea, thanks! Put it on the wishlist in the OP. :) Feel free to create a fork.
The code is over at Github, and currently being finalised for a new release. Although no licence uploaded yet, it's open source-, will probably end up with something like MIT_Licence.txt sitting in there.

Version 3.0 (Beta) up!
Spoiler
Demo with two monitor rig where Skyrim files are located: (do forgive the Java Indonesian/beans backdrop acquired from some wallpaper share site sometime around the mid 90s- in the pipeline is a design for AHK beans- maybe a navy blue/teal affair - or something else!)

Music Credits Jeremy Soule, from The Northerner Diaries.
Demo with three monitor rig where Oblivion files are located:

Music credits to Matti Paalanen from the fantastic Celestial_Aeon_Project.
