How do you launch stuff?

The way I launch things is with a toolbar on my desktop and with a program called Hotkeys. The toolbar is easy to make just make a folder on the desktop and name it whatever you want then drag it to the edge of the screen and drop it. Then put all the desktop shortcuts in this folder and instant launch bar. I have mine set to always be on top and auto hide just move the cursor to the edge of the screen and the bar appears. The program is a keyboard mapper. Its available at http://qliner.com/hotkeys/overview.htm

For someone who loves to fiddle with configuring things though, the payback is well worth it. I think I read at the site that the author was stopping further development of it.

Yes, that's what he has said but, he is still very active in their forums and I've seen quite a few updates since he "quit". Powerpro is my all-time favorite utility. Yes, there is a bit of a learning curve if you want to extract the full capability. But, using PP, I've been able to get rid of a bunch of other utilities such as a clipboard extender, window manager, virtual desktop manager, macro util, launch bar, sticky note app, and more. Powerpro is doing all this and it's currently using only 1,216K of memory.

PowerPro has a boatload of third-party plugins, too.

I see I am not nearly geek enough for this group.  I find the standard Windows QuickLauch bar to be sufficient for the majority of stuff I use regularly.   I supplement that with Hotkeys for those that I use the most (a program that is not supported nor updated but continues to work so I continue to use it) and Find and Run Robot for those used less frequently.
