Programs

The Acer Launch Manager which is pre-installed on new PCs is a utility that runs in the background and is designed to provide users a way to quickly launch applications manually as well as automatically. For example, if a DVD is inserted into the DVD drive, the launch manager will activate the pre-installed Acer DVD application as opposed to letting Windows launch the default handler. This application is 100% optional and not required.
