Launchy Launchy is an application launcher which makes your life easier. I have been using Launchy since quite some time now and I am so use to it can’t do without it.

It’s a light weight application which runs in the background and appears when hit “ALT + Space” (Default settings). Just type in the initial letters of the application you want launch on your computer, the program shows the applications on the bar and launches it once hit the “enter” key.

This saves you a few clicks from going to Start menu, programs and then application folder and launching application.
By default it works only for applications as it indexes all the shortcuts in the Start Menu, however, you can add any type of file extension which will be indexed with Launchy or you can just choose to index the entire hard disk.

Launchy Bar Launchy is an open source project which works on Windows and Linux machines. It won several awards including SourceForge.Net Community Choice Awards, Honorable Mention: Best New Project.

This application is quite extensible because of its plugin architecture which lets you customize and add new functionality at the same time you can uninstall or disable the functionality of any of the plugins already installed.

We highly recommend this application for improving productivity and shear convenience.
