How do you launch stuff?
[deXter]:
I prefer Executor. It works like launchy/FARR/Slickrun.

The configuration set-up screenshots make it look complicated. How do you compare it to FARR and SlickRun? SlickRun, at least, looks comparatively simple on the surface.
Also, I see Executor has "limited functionality" on Win9x which I still use at home :(-rjbull (October 03, 2007, 06:11 AM)

It certainly has some features that both of them don't have. Don't ask me to list them, they're way too many. The options screen isn't *that* complicated if you just go through section by section. Besides, the installer has a wizard that will set it up the way you like. If you like a minimalist design for instance, Executor can be set up in that way.
About the Win9x compatibility, I suppose the "limited functionality" isn't anything major, probably something like transparency not being available. Any particular reason why you're using Win9x at home?

@edbro: Yes, Executor does search for programs, but it doesn't do bookmarks :( I guess I'll have to drop another note to the author :)

Dash does look pretty and pretty impressive. I'm sure Andrew will take a look at it and, um, borrow some ideas, as I am sure Dash's developers will do with Andrew's DirectAccess. Maybe I will put Dash on my other computer and see how I like it.

I use the Jet Toolbar to launch my programs and browsers and find that having it at the top is the most convienient way to access it. I also have it so it appears when moused over. I find it to be very quick and convenient.
