Launching Applications with the Security/Application Panel

The security panel also enables you to launch applications with the touch of a button when your system is on. Pressing any of the buttons will launch a user-defined application.

These utilities are found in the Control Panel under Application Panel. They include two Application Panel Setup tabs, E-mail Setup, and Internet Setup.
