Latest FARR Release 2.250.0 beta - Mar 23, 2020
mouser:
New version with some useful features requested by users, including customizable titlebar which supports date+time, as well as ability to easily launch applications as an administrator.
Version 2.80.01 - November 20th, 2009
* [Feature] - Ability to customize titlebar, including ability to put date and time in it.
* [BugFix] - Users can no longer delete built-in hotkeys (but they can be disabled).
* [MinorFeature] - Added option to disable troubleshooting log.
* [Feature] - You can launch an item as an administrator by holding Ctrl+Shift as you launch it (or adding /runasadmin to the result in alias list)
* [Feature] - The launch history and search history are now saved to independent files (in config dir) instead of the ini file; allows faster save of bigger lists, and means less paranoia when moving and sharing normal ini settings file.
* [MinorFeature] - Improved text of options dialog for history options.
* [MinorFeature] - When reducing the number of items to keep in history, it now truncates the current list.
* [BugFix] - When launch history reached max, new items were not being added.

Thanks Mouser 8) trying FARR for a couple of days now as a Windows-Run replacement. So far it does the job quite well. :-*

Hi Mouser,
FYI... I just installed the new version, but suddenly my user variables no longer work. I haven't dug too deep yet, I'll try to investigate more.
EDIT: Well, now I don't know... some of my user variables are no longer working. I have a user variable called UtilitiesHome in the [Environment] section of my user variable definitions that references C:\Utilities. Using %uservar.Environment.UtilitiesHome% in an alias no longer works. However, a similar reference to C:\Program Files by the ProgramFiles variable in the same [Environment] section seems to work just fine.
I've also noticed that any alias that launches a program brings up a dialog asking which user to run the program as (WinXP, SP3)... that could get annoying, since I just want them to all run as me (I'm on an admin account... yes, bad form, I know). Doesn't seem to affect programs that are launched from search though - just aliases.
EDIT 2: Argh, actually, in order to run as the current user, I have to uncheck the box that says "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity" every time I run it - otherwise it won't launch at all. Sorry for all of the edits.

I messed up. I will push a new update now. Very stupid to not do more testing before I pushed an update.

New version uploaded; please try it and let me know. v2.80.01 was trying to launch everything as an administrator.
