About This Project

StoreTrainer was born out of a classic PC gaming problem from the late 90s. As my first Windows binary executable, created in 1998 with Visual Basic 6.0, it solved a personal annoyance: launching a game and a separate 'trainer' application simultaneously. The codebase is still maintained in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 virtual machines, a testament to its legacy roots. The tool creates a single shortcut that not only launches both programs but, more importantly, correctly sets the 'Working Directory' for each—a common point of failure that often prevented trainers from working correctly. It's a practical utility that demonstrates a foundational understanding of the Windows application environment and a long-standing passion for building tools that solve real-world problems.

Key Features:

• Creates a single shortcut to launch two separate executables.
• Correctly resolves and sets the 'Working Directory' for each application.
• Provides a simple, user-friendly interface for creating and managing shortcuts.
• Demonstrates remarkable backward and forward compatibility.
