## The session launcher In order to replace in **Pageant** the function that allows you to launch a saved session, but without any menu or sub-menu, a launcher was integrated into **KiTTY**. To start this launcher just run KiTTY from the command line with the `-launcher` parameter: ``` kitty.exe -launcher ``` The software will start in the system tray as a new icon like this:  Sessions are organized into menus and sub-menus, corresponding to the [folders](SessionsFilter.md). The sub-menu separator is the backslash character **\**.  The menu tree is saved in registry key `[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\9bis.com\KiTTY\Launcher]`. By default, this key is reloaded from the saved sessions each time the **Launcher** starts. However you can choose to organize the menu yourself by modifying the registry key. To do that you must disable the automatic reload by adding these two lines in your **kitty.ini** file: ``` [Launcher] reload=no ``` An **Opened sessions** menu is available to hide/unhide some running sessions. The sessions will completely disappear from the desktop and the task bar. This is useful when there are too many sessions running at the same time.
