To demonstrate Notes Menu Launcher, it comes with a built-in support for NotesPeek Buddy. This is a small NotesPeek-enabler, which will launch NotesPeek for you and automatically navigate to the currently selected document. In other words, a much quicker way to launch NotesPeek directly on the selected document!
Note: Notes Menu Launcher does not include NotesPeek software itself. NotesPeek can be downloaded from this article at IBM, an in addition you can find the new ND6 version of NotesPeek at The NotesPeek ND 6 homepage.
When you launch NotesPeek via Notes Menu Launcher for the first time, you will see the following dialog box;
From this dialog box you select where you have installed NotesPeek on your machine. Notes Menu Launcher will store your path to NotesPeek in the Registry. If you move or change the path of NotesPeek, Notes Menu Launcher will ask you again.
The path to NotesPeek is stored in the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Voith's CODE\NotesPeek Buddy and value NotesPeekPath.
