Access your applications as quickly as possible.
With the great quantity of applications that we have installed on our computers nowadays, it is necessary to use an application
launcher to avoid getting lost in the
Start Menu each time we want to use a specific application. One of the best
application launcher available for Windows is without doubt
Launchy.
This
freeware application
indexes all the applications in your Start Menu, desktop and any other location that we indicate it, thus allowing us to launch any application by simply brining it forward by pressing
Alt+Spacebar (default shortcut) and writing the applications name or key words.
The application starts searching as we write and it starts showing the icon of the programs that match what we have written, due to this it is even necessary to type in the full name, because
Launchy shows the filtered results and their icons. Once the application we are looking for appears all we will have to do is press the Enter key, and the software will be launched.
What's more,
Launchy has support for plug-ins and searches over Internet with various search engines (like Google, YouTube or Wikipedia). We will also be able to modify it GUI by applying
themes or
skins.
