Launchy Final 1.0: Download of the day
As reported earlier, Launchy is a quick and light launching application for the Windows platform. With the quick press of your Alt + Space Bar keys, a tiny little window will appear awaiting your command.Wit this new release, Launchy is now better than ever! It comes with a large hand full of skins and you can also choose a different skin by downloading one from the Skin Forums. So you can choose to have that sleek Vista look or that old school Windows Notepad look. Either way, you will be able to get everything up and running in no time now that you do not need to search your computer for that freshly installed application. But the fun doesn't stop there with this newly released full version. Launchy now supports plug-ins as well! It already comes with four plug-ins allowing you to do extra functions such as searching your computer, entering a web address and then being taken to that site and Launchy also automatically catalogs your Firefox bookmarks. The creators will also be creating more plug-ins and they anticipate that other users of the program will create additional plug-ins as well.

If you run Vista - this type of functionality is already integrated in the Start Menu-s new search box ;)

Thanks for the heads up! I do not have vista, so I guess the vista look would be for people that have implemented the Vista Transformation Pack (http://tinyurl.com/pfac8). But there are a lot more skins in the Launchy skin forums.

Another great launcher is Find & Run Robot, which allows you to create your own launch commands, but requires you to have regular expression skills to do so: http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/findrun/index.html
(Lotta respect for the DonationCoders, mouser & skrommel especially.)
FARR doesn't look anywhere near as sexy as Launchy though :)
