Good suggestion, I like the little white guy. 8) I will change them with tomorrows updates.

The credit is well deserved, I can tell by the latest version you have been putting a lot into it.

I have used and tested this program extensively the last few days(currently including V2.12.03), since our previous posts and found it to be the best ever in the launching/research line. As mentioned above, method #1 works fine with XP, method #2 was necessary for the Vista laptop.

I also convinced several of my friends to try it and they have had very favorable reactions. Hopefully you will get some donations and I myself hope to do so before the six months runs out. As mentioned I wrote a small review for FARR on my website (http://xrl.in/7og), and a short blurb about it in yesterday's blog (http://xrl.in/7ts). I also  added a few Donationcoder buttons throughout my site.

As mentioned on my site, I have tried a lot of launcher type programs, and this one is the best yet.

100% Success!

That version works with the Microsoft programs and all other programs. The fastest loading of programs I have seen so far and I have tried quite a few.

I will give it a couple days work out, and if all goes well I will add a short review to my site(s) for all your efforts. Very much appreciated.

Mostly successful this time. Unchecking the suggested box worked for all programs except Microsoft programs.

If you type in 'Excel' for example, "Microsoft Office Excel 2003.lnk" appears at the top of the list. This will not start the program.

Directly below "EXCEL.exe" is listed. This will start the program.

This seems to apply to all Microsoft programs which will only start from the exe selection whereas all others will start from the lnk or the exe selection.

At this point in time let me say that FARR starts all the programs much faster than Launchy and uses much less resources, which is the program I had been using. Being heavily involved in web activities I am a keyboard person and these types of programs are very important to me. This makes the program usable and I will continue using it to see how it goes. If I run into any other oddities I will let you know. After a period of testing on this Vista machine I will try it on one of my XP machines.

I appreciate the quick response.

Unfortunately the results were the same. I tried overwriting and then uninstalling and reinstalling from the link supplied, generating the key again, etc. without success. Sometimes with so many different configurations things just don't work the way they should and it looks like I am in that category this time.

Thanks again.

Find And Run Robot / FARR Won't Start Programs - Vista

I installed the program on the recommendation of PC Magazine. The code worked and it shows it registered to me under 'Help About'. It will list the program names when typing begins, however it will not launch anything. Hitting Enter or the Number beside the program only makes FindAndRunRobot disappear.

Sorry but this is far too much hassle for this type of program. It is back to Launchy for me. Thank you for the opportunity to try it.
