Launchy changed my work-life!

I always thought the only application that does make Windows worth my while was Total Commander but not I found something that is so amazingly handy it should ship with Windows.

Launchy is an open source app that allows you to jump to any app or document by pressing alt+space and typing its name. Mac users know this functionality from Quicksilver.

No more navigating through the Start menu or the Program Folder for me.

    Have you checked Vista yet? This type of functionality is nicely integrated across the system.

    Have you heard about Keybreeze? It’s kind of like Launchy and Total Commander combined into one super-charged command-line application.
