Software suggestions

[cyberpyr8]

I am looking for an application to launch programs based on my network location. For instance, if I am at work I want to load a VM, Outlook and OneNote. If I am at home I want to load a browser only if I am at Starbucks I may want startup with nothing but setting different default printers at each location. I have an app for my Thinkpad called AccessConnections 5 that is supposed to do this but it doesn't work too well. Is there something out there that can will look at the network configuration and call apps based on that?

If I can't find that is there an app that will let me choose a configuration and launch apps from a gui prompt? I know with Win 7 I could pin a batch file that would do this, but I like the automatic decision making feature of AccessConnections 5 but without taking over my network configuration.

I have a batch file that launches at startup and lets me decide now, but a network detecting app would be better.
