Download the software here: http://arma2.funpic.de/

Feature list

* Start ArmA II with command line parameters, e.g. -nosplash or -winxp
* Save choosen parameters etc. for next launch
* Choose mods found in ArmA II directory (directories beginning with @)
* Start ArmA II directly into multiplayer einvironment to host a game
* Directly join a running multiplayer game
* New or further command line parameters are supported
* Tooltips with short descriptions
* ArmA II Launcher can be minimized to tray
* The ArmA II Launcher can be placed everywhere, arma2.exe can be located
* Autostart with OS start
* Check if ArmA II is already running to prevent several instances
* Creation of desktop shortcut

* Start TrackIR automatically with ArmA II
* Start FreeTrack automatically with ArmA II

Do you mean load order of mods?
Yes, you can set the priority of the mods in mods tab.

Can it be used to launch the steam version? The command line looks like this, with 33900 being the code for Arma 2. Everything following that are Arma parameters:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 33900 -window -nosplash -mod=@ISLAND_Desert

So "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 33900 would be considered the Arma executable.

I will look at the steam version and will try to implement it ...
