Looking for a launcher
Tinman57:
You really should try Bayden Software's free SlickRun. I experimented with a ton of hotkey type apps until I came across this, and haven't looked back since.
SlickRun is a free floating command line utility for Windows. SlickRun gives you almost instant access to any program or website. SlickRun allows you to create command aliases (known as MagicWords), so C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe becomes MAIL.
Enter a web URL into SlickRun and it will launch your browser and navigate to the specified address. Run multiple programs in a few keystrokes, jot a note, look up a definition... SlickRun is the most natural way to interact with your computer.

@Tinman - regarding SlickRun - it does look like it lives up to the name. But is it still being actively developed? It's 32-bit AFAICT and the last update was released on June 28, 2009.
UPDATE: Oh wait...this guy has it running under Windows 8 so maybe it doesn’t matter....

Try to convince the author of Find and Run Robot to add optional support for indexing -- that would give you the best of both worlds.

Mouser, you missed one of my key requirements... :)
...and I would prefer something that shows the promise of being updated if needed.
