A shortcut to your programs and favourite websites
I've been having a go at using Launchy, which is a free program you
can download from launchy.net via the Sourceforge site. This was
recommended by Andrew Brown in The Guardian's IT section way back
in January 2008.
You can launch programs or websites listed in (My) Favourites, just
by typing in a name or the first few letters of it into the search
box above. I typed "blo" into it a few minutes ago, and launched the
Blogger log-in page, (by selecting it from the Launchy list and
pressing the Enter key). You can toggle this icon on and off your
Desktop screen using Alt + spacebar, and you can move the icon
around your screen (click and drag).
