No need to spend time arranging shortcut icons or keyboard shortcuts, I just start typing my program and it finds it for me. It looks great and auto hides itself :). I like the calcy and explory plugins, but disabled foxy and weby. The Fx bookmark search from weby got in the way of my apps, and are best suited in the sidebar (or eventually places). Another excellent part of the app is that it remembers which programs you choose and gives them priority automatically, so you can get to the programs you want with fewer letters. The skins are nice, but I'm sticking with the standard. That search box was the one thing I liked with Google Desktop, but I didn't like the files mixed in and other pieces. Simple, easy, excellent app! Since I can run all my programs from Launchy, and use floating icons and window fold-up from DM2, I've created a taskbar-free interface. I just set my taskbar to auto-hide. Works well, but I do occasionally need to check the taskbar for tray icons etc. BTW: Do you know how I could create desktop shortcuts for shutdown, logoff, standby...?

The last I knew it was impossible to do that because of how Windows stores the startup applications, but I could be wrong. No, I have never seen a program like that before.

That program looks really cool…just added it to the list of software I want to write about!
