Publisher's description
From DonationCoder :Find and Run Robot is a program for keyboard maniacs. It helps you rapidly find programs or documents from within the depths of the start menu (or other directories). One key press launches the utility, and then just starts typing the first letters of the application you want to launch. As you type the best matches are shown, just hit the number to launch the associated program.

Version: Find and Run Robot 1.5.2
Pros: I had been looking for this type of program for some time now, and didn't find it. I wanted a program that would open a search box from a shortcut and would search my start menu as I typed. This is absolutely perfect!!! I even get to choose the shortcut key!!! And best of all, it doesn't drain my computer resources like google desktop did!
Cons: The options were a bit hard to understand, but then again, I didn't really need to customize the program. It was already good enough.
Not sure if the following is a pro or a con: The user interface is plain.

Version: Find and Run Robot 1.5.2
Pros: I was using AcceleRun (Freeware) program for the same functionality since last 2-3 years. But this program is a magic with a customization to any folder in real time which AcceleRun lacks. Many thanks to the developers.

Version: Find and Run Robot 1.5.2
"Superb and Professional work!"
Pros: I just don't get words to say how good is this product. This is one of the best utility softwares I've ever used. It is simply excellent and the convenience of this software is making my work very easy. There are no other programs could give you more search results than it does. Programs like 'AppRocket' will not get anywhere near it's power fleibility. You will see it once you use this.
It's free...
Cons: I don't want this software to have any bugs...

Version: Find and Run Robot 1.5.2
"Great App : does perfectly well what it's supposed to do"
Pros: A very well written piece of software (I've been using it for almost a month now).
I've tried almost every single similar "keyboard centric" application launcher (approcket, RunIt!, Key Launch, Shell Search, ESP, SlickRun, Rock-It-Launcher, etc. -- name it!) and I find that **Find & Run Robot** is the best :
1- LIGHT and USER FRIENDLY (approcket, the other one I used to like, can take as much as 40mb of RAM (!!!) and is not as configurable; also, development seems to have slowed down -- or stopped -- in the last 6 months). 2- FAST (on my three years old laptop, I can find what I'm looking for in a matter of seconds). 3- HIGHLY CONFIGURABLE (much more configurable, than any other similar software, like approcket; aliases are very handy. If you need to, you can put whatever you need to access quickly -- like drives -- as shortcuts in your favorites). 4- STABLE : have had NO bug at all. 5- Very WELL MAINTAINED and developed (the developer is working hard, and always open to comments and suggestions.
To sum it up : GREAT APP, I highly recommend it. Basically : find any file on your computer in a flash (and soon -- according to the developer -- you'll be able to do even more.)
Unclog your desktop with useless links, stop using your highly complex startup menu tree structure. Just get to work : launch every file/program quickly.
Cons: None for now.
