PowerArchiver Starter

Introduction

PowerArchiver Starter is a system tray application that enables use of Queue system in PowerArchiver, as well as provides faster way to start PowerArchiver.

How does it work?

  • "Show Queue" - Opens Queue window which shows Queue operations currently in progress
  • "Delete" - Deletes selected operation (it can not delete operation in progress).
