    "Great program! Especially for XP users. Set-up needed!!"

    September 1, 2009  |   By min.darren

    Pros

    Fast access to shortcuts or frequently used programs. Runs quietly in the background consuming a minimal amount of memory.

    Cons

    I found that to get the most out of the shortcuts, I needed to make a folder of all my most used shortcuts and have Launchy scan that folder - otherwise I would have to type too much to get to the 'shortcut'!

    Summary

    Out of the box it does work, but for maximum benefit you'll want to do some tweaking. I've used it on XP and Windows 7 (it's less essential in Win Vista and Win 7).
