Launchy in Windows - Who needs the Start Menu?

Notice anything different in this screenshot?

Well, if you have used Linux or Mac, you must have definitely come across GNOME Do (in Linux) or Quicksilver (in Mac). Launchy is a similar tool, and it is for windows.

What is launchy? “Launchy is a free windows and linux utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager. Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!” (by Josh Karlin via launchy.net)

To an extent, it would feel like the search bar from the Vista Start Menu. What Launchy actually accomplishes is that it enabels you to access your favorite and most used applications with just a few keystorkes. That helps getting work done lightening fast. And yep! Launchy is open source.

Head over to launchy.net for a download and the new launchy experience. Don’t forget to share the experience.
