The newest version of Launchy that was just released a few days ago includes a nifty plugin called Runny. This plugin will let you add your own custom commands to Launchy so that you get the most out of the free program. I do have to admit that this is a really great feature…and below I’ll demonstrate how to use it.

Being a Windows user for all my life I have come to realize that my Start Menu quickly becomes filled with applications that I frequently install. Windows Vista makes this much better by incorporating an easy-to-access search bar right in the Start Menu.

I've had several people email me in the past week telling me what a great application Launchy is, and I realized that which is why I wrote about it back in September of 2006.

A few days ago when I wrote up an article on WinRoll "Nate The Great" commented with a few programs that he really likes. One of those programs was Launchy and I thought I'd give it a shot since it sounded useful.
