Version: Launchy 2.0
"No need for start menus anymore"
Pros: Well, i've have to say this is an amazing piece of software, one that might even convince the most hardcore users to switching to launchy and leaving start menu and windows search behind. Does everything as stated, search and open files, documents, music, videos, websites, and even perform online search query without a glitch. Did you know it can also search the weather, along with a built-in calculator. Users can also download and install extra plug-ins into Launchy, making it a customizable program.
Now that i got rid of all the icons and shortcuts in my desktop, i can enjoy the wallpaper and if i ever need anything, just call up launchy and it'll do its job.

Version: Launchy 2.0
Pros: just type in some words and it displays the progam
it's so good it's like it can read my mind!
I typed in fastone and it found the program i was looking for (Faststone). I can reconize the right program even when i do typos.
Cons: the themes sometimes have graphic problems: sometimes you see the left top corner image floating around.

"there are other ways not to use your startmenu"
Cons: in windows you can set up your own linkbar which you can put anywhere on your desktop, drag files, folders, application shortcuts, internet favorites to it and you can quick launch it from there

Version: Launchy 2.0
Pros: I can't believe some of the reviews of how worthless of a program this is. Yes, if you like your mouse and scrolling through multiple shortcuts and windows, then this proggy is not for you. Are you saying, that out of the 150 or so of my most accessed files and shortcuts the easiest way of launching them is through the quicklaunch bar? HA! Never again since I found this program. [/rant]
