Haxial Launcher

From Haxial Software:

Haxial Launcher is a program designed to make it faster and easier for you to launch/open other programs, documents, folders, or URLs. Launcher allows you to create buttons with menus that contain the items you want quick access to for launching. Alternatively you can setup abbreviations for items, for example, type "ml" into the text box, hit return, and your mail program will open (if that is how you configured it). You can also assign system-wide Hot Keys to open programs etc. For example, wherever you are, merely hit the F9 key and your web browser will open (if that is how you configured it).
