The one I use is Slickrun (<A HREF="http://www.bayden.com/SlickRun/" REL="nofollow">http://www.bayden.com/SlickRun/</A>).<BR/><BR/>Alt+Space is an interesting choice of default shortcut key by the Launchy author; I use that key combination for a few other things, such as "Alt+Space, n" to minimize the current window. I posted on this topic previously: <A HREF="http://jonschneider.blogspot.com/2006/05/useful-altspace-shortcuts.html" REL="nofollow">Useful Alt+Space Shortcuts</A>.<BR/><BR/>I agree, though: The ability to launch any app on your machine in about a second, without needing to take your hands off the keyboard, is very useful and powerful!Jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05718316809087214442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120968.post-317684797486008352008-02-15T08:04:00.000-05:002008-02-15T08:04:00.000-05:00I am really enjoying your Utility of the Day series. I wanted to let you know of one that I find extremely useful.<BR/><BR/>Launchy is a great tool. After installing it, all you do to use it is click Alt+Space, which will bring up a menu. In this menu, you can type the name of any of your programs, hit Enter, and Launchy will start it on your behalf. It is pretty similar to Spotlight on the Mac.<BR/><BR/>Here is the URL if you would like to check it out.<BR/><BR/>http://www.launchy.net/Carlus Henryhttp://jdcarlflip.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
