Colibri

The greatest enhancer to Windows desktop usability: Colibri Type Ahead. It's been sooooo long since I've clicked on the start button the last time.



It only indexes the Start Menu, but it has some elementary AI build into it (it remembers the minimal keystrokes combination used for opening an application).

I'm curious how much RSI is added than when using the mouse :)

Google Desktop the best ever after

This appears to be like Quicksilver for Mac OS X. Now I can have that functionality on my Windows box at work.

Thanks for the link!

I think Launchy already does that (http://www.launchy.net/)

I've used Launchy for a long time to do the same thing... I don't know how much of a difference there is between the two though.

I'm a Launchy user and just gave Colibri a try. Colibri is a bit sluggish in comparision.

Yes, I tried a lot of those launching apps. And Launchy is just the one!

BTW: Enso is another interesting tool in that league.
