If you don't like that functionality (I don't) then it's not worth it<br> - Because Launchy is developed specifically for this I feel that it does and easier and better job<br> - I suspect that Launchy runs faster that G Desktop</p><p>However, if you are using Google Desktop and if it works as you say it does, then you get the same functionality - which is awesome.</p>alistairMon, 03 Sep 2007 02:38:49 -0000http://alistairpott.com/blog/2007/08/28/cool-tools-launchy/#comment-2386454<p>Launchy seems good, and is also open source. A commonly used tool, Google Desktop, appears to provide the same functionality: ctrl, ctrl to launch the Quick Search Box and .lnk files are included in the index lookup.<br>Would be good to here if you find any reasons why one would be preferred over the other.</p>RolfSun, 02 Sep 2007 16:33:43 -0000
