Launchy is a free application for Windows and Linux utility.
Its main function is to act as a Start menu, that means it indexes shortcuts in the start menu, and files in specific folders to allow quicker access to programs without opening the start menu itself, or browsing to the relevant folder.
So Launchy helps you for quick access to documents, project files, folders and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes.
How to use it?
Launchy waits for your command to be activated. By pressing Alt + Space or a custom user hotkey you can call it on to your screen.
It can be customized to index any location on your hard drive for any type of file.
With Launchy you can search for installed apps rather than browse for them manually in your start menu.
As you type in the name of the program or file that you wish to Launch, Launchy automatically searches its list of programs for the closest match as the user types. When it finds the desired program, the user hits enter and it is automatically launched.
This is a very interesting launcher that takes very little system resources to run. It is a must if you, like me, have a ton of installed applications and a lot of files that you work with.
