Works out of the box
There are many good application and file launchers around but Find and Run Robot (or FARR) is definitely one of the coolest that I have found.. Overall, FARR is a fantastic application and file launcher for both computer beginners and experts. Moreover, there are a huge number of open-source plugins that you can download to extend the functionality of this program. If you are looking for a super application and file launcher that gives you more control without compromising Windows system performance, FARR is your best bet.

Intro:
On 2012-11-04, I made this comment in a discussion thread Re: organize data for research

...[Reference Management software: There is good software in this category that could be seriously useful in research work. For example:
Calibre: take a look at the review thread Calibre - e-Book (Personal Library/Document) Management - Mini-Review
Qiqqa: I have been using this for a while now and should really do something about posting a review of it - the website is http://www.qiqqa.com/

- so this is the belated review of Qiqqa.

Summary description of Qiqqa:
Qiqqa contains everything you essentially need for the five stages of commercial or academic research work/projects:

1. Organize
2. Discover
3. Review
4. Collaborate
5. Create

Most of these projects require collecting and reading a large number of papers or "knowledge items" - sometimes thousands of documents. The sheer volume of these documents can sometimes make it difficult to work with them, sift through them, and keep things under control.
Qiqqa was designed with this task in mind, and it has these main features to help you keep those documents under control and to keep your knowledge expanding coherently:

1. Comprehensive PDF document management.
2. The ability to import documents to the Qiqqa library/database.
3. OCR of imaged documents, with capture of text contained in any imaged PDF documents.
4. Automatic collection/creation of metadata for the documents.
5. "Super Tag" functionality to categorise and cross-reference your document content.
6. Sophisticated Find/Search functionality.
7. Ability to export the contents of your Qiqqa library/database.
8. Knowledge analysis/discovery.
9. Research web browser.
10. Brainstorming (Mindmaps).
11. Knowledge-linking.
