Starter 5.6.2.0 released 24 Jan 2006
Code:
INF: Services tab seems finished.
ADD: Option to store settings in a file instead of registry.
     If the file is ReadOnly, it will not be updated and any settings you change will not be saved.
     This is the search order for settings location:
     1. File specified in the commandline: -inifile <filename>
     2. Starter.ini in the same directory as Starter.exe, only if the file exists
     3. Starter.ini in user's profile directory (%USERPROFILE%, usually 'C:Documents and Settings'), only if the file exists
     4. Starter.ini in Windows' directory (e.g C:Windows), if exists
     5. Registry, as before
     Note: .ini file name depend on .exe name: "Starter v5.6.2.0.exe" will search for "Starter v5.6.2.0.ini" file, not "Starter.ini"
CHG: Modified caption button to somewhat support XP Themes. But I still want to remove it.
ADD: Option: Navigator'Use flat style for buttons'. On by default.
ADD: Option 'Group disabled startup items together while sorting list'. Turned off by default.
CHG: If 'Group disabled startup items together...' is on, disabled items will always be at the bottom of the list.
CHG: A lot of changes, fixes, new bugs, etc.
LNG: Added Belarusian.lng by Starovoitov Sergey aka OldEvrei


To distinguish the 5.6.2 distributives from the previous versions before downloading, you should check the file's size. New Starter.zip and StarterSetup.zip are a bit larger than 600Kb. Previous versions are about 550Kb
