We all know how frustrating it is to click through start->programs->.......to finally launch the program we want. And that's why this nifty little tool called launchy comes in so handy.
All you have to do is press alt+space and u get this little box shaped window in the middle of ur screen.
Now you can just start typing the name of the program you want to launch and launchy will automatically display the relevant programs after a few keystrokes.
e.g.
One of the side benefits of this tool is that now, when I install new programs, I disable creating a shortcut on desktop or on the quick launch. So, my desktop is a lot less cluttered now. Apparently, there are quite a lot of similar tools out there but launchy is open source and written C#. So, as a .NET developer it's an added benefit for me.
