Okay this program is a stroke of sheer genious and once you get used to it.. you can’t live without it. Basically Launchy is a light program that index’s all the files/folders/applications (whatever you want it to) and then lets you search through them and launch them in a couple of keystrokes (even music.).
Its a bit complicated but i’ll break it down a little, basically Launchy uses a “Catalog” which contains the places it index’s files from (it adds the startup menu apps etc to its index list by default), you can add folders there and type in the formats you want launchy to search for.. which makes its potential limitless i.e. you can make it search for any sort of format regardless of it actually recognising that particular format. Moreover launchy is light, consumes hardly and pc memory and is fast as hell, it works in the background and fades away automatically. You can make it reappear by using a hotkey which is “alt” + “space” by default. It has a huge number of themes and it is only 3.47 Mb in terms of size.
