Multiple Files - LAUNCH.EXE

LAUNCH.EXE may install with games by InfoGames (alone in the dark) and it may be used to launch presentations created using Macromedia's Flash.

This is by no means a complete list of files. There are so many utilities of this sort that the one appearing on your system may not be listed. It is more likely than a program called LAUNCH.EXE would need to run once, perform a task, then quit. It is less likely that it is something you'd need to have running on your system all the time.
