Launchy 1.2.5
There are very few applications that are elegant to look at as well as proficient to work with, at the same time. Launchy is one of them. Launchy as the name suggests basically launches just about anything.
It is like using Windows Vista’s start menu with a Mac-like interface of its own. The application is great for launching not only programs but bookmarks too. As soon as you start to type, programs/bookmarks start to type; programs/bookmarks start to show up n the list instantly.
As an added bonus, you can even use Launchy as a calculator. Launchy is extremely feature-rich. It lets you change your hot keys, set directories that you can launch stuff from and you can even use it for music and video. If an application doesn’t show up, simply hit the ‘Rebuild Index’ button.
Being Open source, you can apply a skin on it by downloading additional ones at www.launchyskins.com and also install plugins that add additional functionality.
With Launchy installed on your system, you can definitely say good bye to the tedious start menu.
For: Ease of use, launches anything.
Against: No way to remove IE favorites.
