Launchy is one of those little programs that really make the user's life easier. A kind of helper is a Windows command line expander.
It does what has been in the unix/Linux systems command line for a long time, namely, quick search and launch of files (not only programs). Programs and files are found quickly, displayed conveniently, and run easily.
The program can be started at the start of the system, or it can be ported to a portable one (there is a corresponding check mark in the settings). At startup, the utility goes into hidden mode, activation on the screen is performed by a combination of Alt+Space. As mentioned above, the program indexes not only executable files, but also any others, you just need to specify additional extensions in the settings.
With the help of plug-ins, the program can be expanded to a search engine for bookmarks and on the Internet, you can teach how to perform calculator calculations on the command line, search for directories, links, shortcuts. Hotkeys are understood and configured. Open source code, plugins and skins, portability — all this makes her a useful assistant for most computer guides — well, it's not for nothing that she received the title of Best New Project on SaurceForge.Net 2007. Those who were not left indifferent by the program can transfer any of the amounts to the developers (donateware). One thing is upsetting: the program does not understand the Cyrillic alphabet (fortunately, most programmers call their creations in English), but nevertheless, the program is worth trying out. I tried and didn't regret it, now it's your turn.
