Pros
I love the way the program figures what application you're trying to find... For example, you can type "oex" or "out" to find Outlook Express. Then the next time if you just type "o" it prefers ones that already have abbreviations it remembers and you can refine your shortcut key strokes.

Summary
I probably use this program more than any other utility program - much more often that WinZip, etc. It's not for everyone...it will be most useful to those who use a lot of shortcuts and macros, and especially those who like to work from the command line.
The utility basically provides a smart, adaptive command line access to all the programs, files, and web links on your computer! It's very quick and easy to change the shortcut command used to open a program, folder, or file.
If you're an old command line addict, you'll love this program!

Summary
Point and click is slow. This utility makes opening new programs and windows a snap. Better than any of those start menu organizers or toolbars. It takes me probably 75% less time to open a program now thanks to this utility.

Summary
Easy to setup shortcuts. Does not take long to become used to using this alternative method of launching programs and web pages.

Summary
Launching keywords tends to be slow, and when you launch websites you have to type two hotkeys (Alt+Enter and CTRL+O). The preset commands are nice though. For anyone interested in keyboard launchers I would recommend PC-Com. PC-Com has more options and features like searching the web, dictionary lookups, sending e-mail, playing MP3s. The response time is quicker and setting up keywords is a breeze.
