Editors’ Review

Download.com staffSeptember 2, 2015

In spite of its simplicity, this free program helps expedite the process of launching programs, opening files, and browsing the Web. Although RunFast's Control Panel can be accessed via the system-tray icon, most of the user interaction occurs in the command-line box that appears after you press a hot key. Simply clicking the drop-down menu lets you quickly perform your desired function. The program comes with built-in settings for doing such things as opening the Recycle Bin, rebooting your PC, checking your e-mail, and surfing Yahoo. When you want to add your own custom tasks, you simply drag and drop the program into the list or type a URL before assigning it a command line. Since it won't cost you a dime, we think all multitaskers, compulsive Web surfers, and time-pressed users can benefit from what RunFast offers.

Superb - have never found it's equal
Charlie FeldmanAugust 7, 2015
Pros
Launches programs, files, websites, & lets you search google with a couple of keystrokes - faster than I can think about doing it. I am absolutely lost without it.
Cons
Hasn't been updated in a while. On my Windows 8.1 Surface Pro, all of my custom settings disappear every few weeks & I have to re-import my data file.
Summary
The first thing I do whenever I am working on a new computer for more than a few hours is download Runfast and import my data file. Don't know what I would do without it.
get TypeAndRun 1.65 its also free and very fast

Pros
It helped clean up my desktop, quickly launch programs instead of wasting time looking for icons.
Cons
none, if you don't like the idea then don't download it.
Summary
It's just a useful little app.
A capable program launcher that doesn't abuse your system.

Pros
This is one of my favorite little utilities. It's lite, very fast, and unobtrusive. You simply press ctrl-r and then type the first few characters of the command, press enter and away you go. RunFast is very easy to configure, too. If all you want is a simple, convenient "program launcher" (i.e., something without a lot of bells and whistles), this is the download for you. Moreover, you can't beat the price. :)
Cons
Absolutely none. I even found the documentation to be pretty good.
Summary
It is the best program!!

This program is very slow at launching commands. I would recommend downloading PC-Com instead of RunFast. PC-Com is a lot faster and easier to use. And it has about 50 more features and options than RunFast.

Developer’s Description

By Idiogen Software

Launch programs, files, folders, and Web sites.

RunFast is a command-line utility that allows you to quickly launch programs, files, folders, and even Web sites. It's very powerful, convenient, and a great alternative to the Run option in the Start menu. When it starts, the RunFast icon is created in the system tray. Right-click on the icon for a list of options. Left-click on the icon or press the hot key to open the RunFast box where you can enter in things, such as a program or filename, and RunFast will open them. RunFast also supports aliases, which allow you to create custom commands. RunFast is a great tool for anyone who uses the Run option often or for anyone who just wants to open things faster.
