Start++ was a utility for Microsoft Windows Vista that added functions to the Start menu. It could use startlets to provide additional commands and actions.
The .startlet file stores a set of commands interpreted by Start++.
A .startlet file was intended to be used by Start++ on Windows Vista rather than opened as a standalone document. If Start++ is installed, it can load the file for use as a Start++ script.
A text editor can display the script contents, but it will not execute the commands.
The commands in a .startlet file can be copied or rewritten manually for another scripting system, if their functions are supported there.
