Launchy

Launchy 2.0 has been released. Launchy is a open source keystroke launcher for windows that lets you open files, folders, websites and programs on your computer easily!

There are a lot of applications / softwares that you only remember by their name, not it’s companies. E.g: I use a program known as GG-Arena but the company name that it’s installed under is Ocean-Technology (I never knew that before checking it out.) Likely is the case with most of the people.

Launchy is a smart search program which tries to guess which program or file you are looking for and will launch it when you hit the enter key. It is only visible when you hit the alt+space key combination; otherwise it hides in the background. Once you have used it for a few days, it becomes an indispensable utility for your computer.

Best thing about Launchy is that it’s free of cost :)

 Features:

• Launchy has been completely rewritten with QT
• Your old plugins/skins will no longer work
• Your old configuration will be wiped
• A new look! New icons and skin thanks to Tyler Sticka
• Much better skinning support
• Options merged into a single, tabbed dialog
• Skin selection now shows previews
• Plugins much more configurable
• Launchy can hide when it loses focus
• Fade in/out effects
• Customizable transparency
• Optional shallow scan of directories
• Unicode support for Firefox bookmarks
• Vista support
• It’s just better.
