Moderators rridgely Posted July 16, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 16, 2006 I might be the last person on the internet to try this program but anyway... For whatever reason this program sounded like the dumbest thing in the world to me... But then I tried it and it might be one of the most usefull programs EVER! Launchy is a free windows utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager. Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes! http://www.launchy.net/#introduction You have to try this to realize how usefull it really is.

Moderators Andavari Posted July 17, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2006 How about someone posting a real screenshot of it, you know with the taskbar visible and all because the screenshots on the website aren't revealing much to me.

Moderators rridgely Posted July 17, 2006 Author Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2006 The screen shots on the site look exactly like the program. I would post more but I dont think it would help. The download is only like 800kb.(even on your connection it wont take to long ) Here is a direct link to the download(hosted on sourceforge) http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/launchy...96.exe?download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgan Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 nice find, launchy is indeed a very unique program, I had the same initial feeling with you, but after tried it, it's just simply handy, and the gui is very nice... but I found it occupies a bit more resource, about 10m, bigger than I expected. anyway a should-try! (if you're a typing lover:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 ~5k memory on my system this is a really nice program though. it you can even add directories and file extensions to search for. very very nice. this might make me get rid of RKLauncher .

Moderators Andavari Posted July 17, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2006 I would like it if and only if it was visible at all times. I literally found it rather annoying in a matter of seconds with it constantly disappearing and having to click 'alt+space' to make it appear again. Not for me.

JohnDemolition Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 you know you could just modify the source to make it like that, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 17, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2006 Source code, or .ini file? Anyways it isn't all that important as I made a decision in a matter of seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
