Hi all,
I decided to start a new thread since this represents a substantial re-work in the approach when compared to my original version. Although as you'll see, it's still quite faithful to the original concept of using a shortcut to launch your project on a daily basis.
I'm going to keep this short as you can find help on the ins and outs by clicking HERE. Feel free to post comments, questions, suggestions, etc. in this thread. Hope you find it useful!

#### Version 5 - 04/18/2010
Revit: Tested to work with 2009, 2010 & 2011. Should also work with 2008 but have not tested.
OS: Windows 7 (x64), Vista Enterprise (x64). Should also work on XP (x64) but have not tested.
Features:
- Centralized application with a GUI that lets you navigate to your Central File Folder and displays projects that comply with the naming convention. You can then right-click and pick an option. It's that simple!
- Shortcuts are written to the desktop automatically so you only need to interact with the application window once. Next time you need to launch your project's local file, you use the desktop shortcut as in previous versions.
- Most settings are now customizable within settings.ini.
- Build checking has been greatly enhanced to only warn those machines working on a project whose build is behind that of the team. The warnings go away automatically once the machine is upgraded.
#### Version 5.1 - 07/21/2013
This has now been upgraded to work with 2013 and 2014 (even OneBox) and it can be downloaded from here as I could not upload it to this forum for some reason!
