CAL is a piece of software that sits quietly on your system until you activate it via the keyboard hot-key you designate. The default hot-key combination is "Ctrl+Alt". You may change this in the configuration dialog easily.
Once the launch window is open you may then type shortcuts to open documents/apps/folders/web pages/etc from your computer. Once you type the correct shortcut and press the enter key CAL will attempt to find this shortcut in the list of custom launches you have created or launch packs you have installed and enabled.
If none are found it will then attempt to search your "All Programs" (Disable in configuration dialog) folder shortcuts for this shortcut typed and launch that if found.
Finally, if any of those fail to return any results CAL will then finally attempt to pass the information to Windows to see if launching this is a valid path.
If the launch was successful then you will hear the good launch sound. If it fails then you will hear the bad launch sound. Disable sounds in configuration window.
