Launchy portables alternatives
« on: July 24, 2012, 09:28 AM »
I am having problems with the last versions of Launchy on windows xp pro sp3

I would like alternatives to this splendid program.

Do you know anyone portable ?

Best Regards

Glad you like it :Thmbsup:

Shameless link to my Find and Run Robot page: here.
(all of my software is designed to be able to run portably).

Just to note that there's a list of alternatives towards the end of FARR's help file. But of course at that stage you'll have FARR running so you wont need any of them ;-)

Ironically, I was using launchy, but for some reason, the hotkey I set for it would randomly stop working, so I just switched to FARR. Not sure why I didn't use it in the first place back when I chose launchy...
