Launchy
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. With a quick keystroke “Alt+Space” it opens up a small little bar, where you begin typing either the name of the program you’d like to open, and then it’ll either show you a list of options, or show you the exact program you’re looking for (depending on what you have on your machine.) 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.

I love Launchy.
One of the features I use every day is actually a utility script called iTuny, which lets Launchy run iTunes controls (start, stop, play, view album art, etc).
There are plugins and utilities for Launchy that will allow you do control other media players as well; sadly, I am chained to the horrible iTunes software by my iPod…
