One of my new favorite programs: Launchy

I’ve known about Launchy for a while, but just recently started using it regularly. What a helpful piece of software.
If you’re like me and have about 50 programs running at the same time, hardly ever see your desktop wallpaper and your toolbars take up too much space on your desktop, Launchy is what the doctor ordered.
I would imagine that if you’re a notebook user and the touchpad isn’t fast enough for you, this will help save you some time.
Even better: it’s open source.
Here’s the official blurb, if you haven’t clicked the link already:
Launchy is a free windows utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager.
Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!
Here’s some nice Lifehacker.com reviews and tweaks.
