Button Latest apps is very convenient, since if you need to re-launch one of the previously used applications, there is no need to look for it again in the general list of programs ( Applications Menu) or look for its icon on desktops. Applications in the list are always arranged in reverse chronological order of their launch (the most recently launched ones are first in the list). In addition, the list window contains additional buttons for calling up the List of active tasks (running in the background of applications), a Search for applications button, and a button for Clearing the list of recent applications.
