	On the first launch, BCI2000Launcher examines the contents of the BCI2000/prog directory, looking for executable programs. Known programs are sorted appropriately, e.g., the gUSBampSource.exe program is placed in "Acquisition" column. If a program is not recognized, it is placed in the "Others" column. Right-clicking on a module brings up a context menu that allows it to be moved to another column. Programs that are rarely used can be moved to the "Others" column to keep them out of the way. BCI2000Launcher stores across sessions which modules are selected, ~~and it uses the Windows registry for this purpose~~.
