• Good - but could but a few tweaks needed

  QUICKSHIFTSeptember 12, 2009

  Pros

  Useful to find some obscure applications that you don't use very often

  Cons

  As others have said, they are a bit jumbled, and unless you remember which "column" to search through, it can be a bit difficult to find what you are looking for.

  Summary

  As others have suggested, if there was an ability to sort, categorize, delete some of the shortcuts, or better still add your own, it would be a great improvement. That said, I'm sure some people will find it useful, and well done to the developer for the great idea.

• It is a most useful toy to have all in one spot.

  beotch419June 5, 2009

  Pros

  I love having everything right at my fingertips. It takes too many hours to keep searching when you want to do something!

  Cons

  That I can't keep it on the desktop permanently!

• Not bad.

  BrianZacharyOctober 6, 2007

  Pros

  It is useful for easy access to a few items that I might be looking for and some I didn't even know existed.

  Cons

  Most of what is listed I never use or already know how to find or have made my own shortcuts for.

• Slightly useful, but ugly to look at; Use Start | Run commands instead.

  pmartel60August 24, 2007

  Pros

  Better than navigating through obscure nested menus and Windows dialogs to reach Windows settings.<p>Makes many settings dialogs and other system tools reachable from "one place".

  Cons

  That "one place" is way too cluttered -- with too many options unhelpfully grouped into too few menus all over an ugly screen of do-nothing graphics. <p>This could have been much more useful if the user could customize the menu structure or and/or define keyboard shortcuts (active when this tool has the focus to avoid collisions with other apps). How about at least a user-configured "Favorites" list or an automatic "Recently Used" menu? Or an options page that lets users hide the menu items they'll never use?<p>And, as mentioned by another reviewer, hiding to the tray would help a lot.<p>Even so, many of the shortcuts offered are already available via the Windows<p>Start|Run box. Web search for "Start run commands" to find lists of useful ones, hit Windows+r, type a command, and hit Enter. Next time, Windows+r will help you remember with its built-in history features (first-letter-match or drop-down list).

• Very handy.

  mccainmJuly 8, 2007

  Pros

  This utility condenses all Windows hard to find variables into one concise listing.

  Cons

  Long term use may cause you to loose knowledge of where things are kept. Its that good. Also, I wish it would fit into the easy start tray.
