Mmm...Launchy

Feb 15, 07:22 PM By Eoghan O'Brien.

I’ve just downloaded Launchy a superb little app for Windows…yes, for Windows, it works in the background, when you need to use a program just press alt+space and type the first 3 or 4 letters of the program’s name and it will suggest and show you the programs that match. Fantastic.

Launchy

Here’s the official word on Launchy:

Launchy is the most efficient way to open files, folders, websites, and
programs on your computer. Nobody likes to hunt through the start menu to find an application, just to find that the application is hidden under someobscure folder named after a company you have never heard of! Instead, Launchy is a smart search program which tries to guess which program or file you are looking for and will launch it when you hit the enter key. It is only visible when you hit the alt+space key combination; otherwise it hides in the background. Once you have used it for a few days, it becomes an indispensable utility for your computer. And it’s free!
