I made an Other Apps Playlist to launch my Recycle Bin, Firefox and Jdownloader for no good reason Edit: Now I've added mp3s with VLC as the emulator

And yes they do all work. Only way I would do it is if I could hide these apps from my games. I didn't think All could be hidden but it actually can in tools > options > sidebar (thanks to JoeViking for that tip) So I hid All and made a category called Games that have all my games separate from other apps. I might just have launchbox do everything on my computer including launch documents folder, outlook mail, VLC Media Player and such lol.

Only bad thing is when you add a game or in this case a random app that's not a game it will add them to all so you have to unhide all add the game to the playlist you desire and then hide all again. Not a big though takes a few seconds.

Added some more including Chiaki to launch my PS5 or PS4. I use a capture card and OBS with Chiaki (unofficial Playstation Remote Play) to play them from my PC. VLC Media Player is also on the bottom. But pretty much you could make Launchbox your all inclusive PC handler. Technically it's called Launchbox not Gamebox anyway.

I could still add the calculator and some other stuff. I mean really I already have all this in my start menu so like I said in the topic there's no good reason to do it at all, just because. I actually launch my PS4 and PS5 through keyboard shortcuts which I turned into controller shortcuts. So I can just start them from my controller.

I had to try it I just added an mp3 as the rom file and VLC Media Player as the emulator, at first it didn't work but it was because I already had VLC open in tray. Closed it and it worked.

@JoeViking245 would I be able to import my mp3s like roms? Otherwise it would take forever adding them one at a time.

Edit: That's just crazy, it all works lol.
