THESE THIEVES ARE BACK...AGAIN! WON'T THEY EVER GO AWAY?
Every once in a while, these guys inflict themselves on the Mac community and then disappear, presumably after a few suckers have plunked down too many of their hard-earned dollars for too little quality and functionality.
ANYTHING an AlphaOmega app does can be had elsewhere...better and cheaper!!!

Butler does this and so much more for free.
If you dont like butler, you can also use quicksilver, but it isn't as stable or feature-ritch. No reason at all to use this thing
This is one of those companies that always prompts me to ask myself three questions:
Do I really need it?
Does the software really work?
Is there a free product or competitive product available from someone else that does the same thing, or better?
With such companies I ALWAYS do my research first before downloading the product and paying my shareware fee.
There is a NICE and FREE app with a BEAUTIFUL icon and GUI that will do what this one pretends to which is just a click away at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14352.
