Like many people, I sometimes have to use Windows. Windows seems to go out of its way to make applications difficult to find and launch, or maybe I'm just not as organized as I should be.
My Windows experience was greatly improved yesterday by the discovery of nDroid, a little launcher tool. It's based on AutoHotKey, the powerful hotkey scripting software, but it's specialized to index my folders and launch what I want it to.
It is quick as a bunny, lightweight, and simple. The only defect I've found so far is that has that we're-programmers-aren't-you? sort of nonintuitive configuration that's typical of open source software, which I personally don't mind.
In the past I've tried Launchy, which is slow, and Find And Run Robot, which is very slow, and Google Desktop, which is invasive, and now at last I'm happy.
How do you launch your applications?
