The holidays are upon us, and whether you celebrate Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or abstain (how would that even be possible in America these days?), it is hard to deny the fact that around this time of year people just seem nicer.

Just wanted to let you guys know of a handy little program. It’s called “Launchy” and it’s a handy little piece of software that allows you to open any application, or location, or file on your computer.

Or you can type in a location, like “C:Programs” and it will open up an explorer window to that location. And if you set the program to index all the files on your computer, you can even type the name of the file, like “index.html” and it’ll give you a list of all the index.html’s on your computer and you select the one you want. No more searching through start menus or explorer windows for what you need. And it also means much less switching between your keyboard and mouse, which helps save time too.
