Tip: Use Batch Files and Scripts

You can use  Find and Run Robot to trigger all kinds of tasks, like shutting down windows, opening a bunch of files at once, cleaning your system, etc.

Remember that Find and Run Robot is simply a tool to help you launch other applications by name.  For things like shutting down windows, you just need to find a small utility to shutdown windows and install it, making sure to put a shortcut somewhere in your start menu.

For more advanced takes, all you have to do to add your own commands to the program is create appropriately named batch files or script files and put shortcuts to the batch files somewhere on the start menu.  You can rename the batch file shortcut to anything you want.  Then use that name in Find and Run Robot to trigger it.

Avoid other utilities that insist on putting an icon in your system tray - if you're going to be triggering these from Find And Run Robot, you don't need these utilities eating up your system resources.  Remember that the Find and Run Robot tray utility was designed to be super lean and efficient.
