Use Launchy to start your windows programs

Posted by sporg

What is it

Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your programs with no more than a few keystrokes. Launchy’s aim is to make users forget about the windows start button.

What it can do for you

If you ever had a problem finding an application in your start menu, then Launchy might be able to help. Launchy supports user made plugins that extend the functionality of the software. Some default plugins allow you to launch a Google search or associate a word with a URL or program. With all this, Launchy can be a nice way to work with your PC.

What support is available

Launchy is supported through its own website and has a community that is happy to help out. There is also information on how to use the software on the website and a few skins to change the way Launchy looks.

What we like

  • The way Launchy stays out the way till you need it.
  • How quick it is to start your favorite application.
  • The different designs available for the Launchy bar.

I Would Like To Hear From You

I have been using Launchy for almost a year now and I don’t know what I would do without it. I find windows programs menu such a pain to use and I can’t bare working on computers that don’t use Launchy. I would love to hear from you if you have tried it. Also interested to find out if there are any people that don’t like Launchy
