Key Launch : Perfect replacement of Run dialogue box!

There are many program launchers for Windows, some allow you to access the programs through taskbar, some through system tray, some hover at the top of the screen and some can be accessed by typing couple of words and then it displays you the applications name and you get to access the application (just like QuickSilver for Mac). I love the last way as, I use keyboard more than mouse and just don’t like to click on the buttons.

Key Launch is such a free utility which allows you to access files and programs quickly by just typing abbreviations of the programs. This utility lets you easily add various other directories, which you may want to include in it’s index. You can also create shortcuts for various other things like opening of website, searching on Google etc.

For those, who have knowledge of programming can play around with DNM scripts and do more with this little utility. You can find more information about DNM scripts from here.
