Vista Like Application Launcher for Window XP: Launchy
Ok I have been using this little utility for the past few days and I am in love with this utility. Launchy is a free utility that is designed to get you away from using the Windows Start Menu / Start Button.
This program allows you to launch your program with only a few keystrokes and perform such tasks as locating all your bookmarks you saved, do a google search, find out the current weather, Play an MP3. Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!
Some Examples:
To Start Launcy Press the <ALT>-<Spacebar> This pop up launcy and you can start typing in what you are looking for.
To Search Google: Open Launcy - Start typing Google until it shows up - Then press the <Tab> button and type in what you want to search for then press <ENTER> - This will open up your browser if it was not already opened and show you the search results.
