Launchy 2.5

A cross platform utility meant to help you launch any application of your choosing in just seconds without the use of the start menu, icons on your desktop, or your file manager - Launchy makes this process even faster by allowing you to simply type the name of the application, or a part of the application name to quickly launch the application right from Launchy. No need to search for it in your start menu or find the icon for the application on your desktop - simply type in part of the application name and it will come up fast in the Launchy menu. Simply select the application and it will launch right away.

The process of the start menu is a thing of the past. The start menu can take you a bit to find the application you are looking for. Without having to using Windows Search or find it using your file manager, simply search for it quickly using Launchy. The application is meant to be running quietly in the background on your desktop so you can quickly open applications whenever you need to in seconds. For some of us multitaskers, this is a great application for finding things fast and getting them open before we know it. 

Many operating system are already adding features like this since many of us are enjoying search engines that find things while we are typing them, so we do not even have to finish typing the entire thing to find what we need to find. Launchy has this feature build right in so you can quickly find what ever you need to open without having to look for it. Instead of taking 30 seconds to find something, why not 5 seconds? That seems like a great feature to me.
