NewtCase comes with an app (Extensions Manager) that does this as well and
better than FreezeMan, I have quite a few apps from Standalone that I use
but I advice anybody to stay away from this particular one, I had quite a
few problems with it and judging from the thread om this list about this
quite a while ago I wasn't the only one.
BTW, NewtCase comes with a lot of other apps of which GestureLaunch is the
greatest IMHO, I'm just a enthusiast user.
BTW, for this specific use you can of course file your sets in a separate
folder of your Extras drawer and use the "ED select all" button (from
softwareburo Mueller ?) to freeze/thaw your sets quickly.
