Screenshots

Alist Helper includes several useful features:

• Automatic launching of alist
• Minimizing to the system tray
• Automatic startup on boot, with the option for silent startup
• Quick access to alist version and administrator information
• Adjustable alist startup parameters. You can customize the startup parameters to meet your specific needs and preferences.
