Find and Run Robot was my clear winnerFor this week's Freeware Frenzy, I have rounded up four of the big name launchers to see which reigns supreme.. For what Find and Run Robot lacks in an imaginative name, it makes up for in pure functionality. F&RR uses the "Break" key by default, as well as a system tray icon. I'll pause while you scan for the Break key, its ok; I needed a second to find mine as well. What sets F&RR apart from the pack is the simple yet effective suggestion box tweak. Each of the suggestions are numbered, so you don't need the mouse at all when your desired app is not the first selected. Just punch the number to launch whatever you like. Note that this applies to the numbers on the number pad, not the top row. There are a plethora of options to tweak F&RR, much more then any of the other programs here. As usual, you can add skins, new folders to index and edit hotkeys. You can also save search history to avoid common searches. Via the suggestion box, you can right click on results to create search rules, copy the shortcut path, explore the folder or check properties. This was the first of the group to load web pages without any weirdness. Of the four programs included in this roundup, Find and Run Robot was my clear winner. It simply did it all without any hiccups.
The N.A.N.Y. Programming Challenge for 2008 New Apps for the New Year (NANY) 2008 Help us celebrate the new year with a bunch of brand new freeware programs! It's time for the results of our annual programming challenge. The coders on our site were asked to:
Some of the programs are rather specialized and whimsical, some are just a little silly, and substantial and serious. But you'll probably find something that you find useful. Do you have an mp3 collection? Use "WTF!? Music Info" to generate charts showing the statistics of your collection. Do you need help staying motivated to keep to your new year's resolutions? Try "Point Motivator", an innovative motivational tool and tracking diary. Congratulations to all the programmers who participated. As always, if you find a program you like please consider making a small donation to the author. |

WTF!? Music Info - Visualize your Music Collection StatsHi all! Here's a little app that'll give you the lo-down on your music collection. Shows stats based on artist, genre, or year. I intend on building this this up in the future, but for now it's a neat little app to let you know what you got.

Click2LogItClick2LogIt is a way to keep track when events occur. It runs as a tray icon and clicking on the tray icon will log the date & time to a log file. Along with the datetime stamp a user-definable notation is made. The impetus for this program was a coding snack idea posted by 222fbj.

KeyCounterKeyCounter is a small app that keeps track of how many times you press any key you've added to its list. It falls into the useless but kind of cool stats category. It was originally written upon request from a friend but I have since fleshed it out for NANY. Features:
