I'll make an update to the post tonight after I get done earning my bacon for the day!<BR/><BR/>I agree that Launchy is a very nice app. (It sneaks in at #14 after the jump.) I have been using PStart <A HREF="http://www.pegtop.net/start/" REL="nofollow">Link to PStart</A> a lot lately as well both on my auto-run CD's, USB stick and desktop. It's a very flexible program.<BR/><BR/>RocketDock, RKLauncher and other "dock-syle" apps. have a certain "eye-candy" appeal. My daughter thinks they are wicked-cool. On the other hand, many of the items (like Launchy) under #14 actually aid productivity--which I agree is more of a selling factor for long-term installation/usage survival on my machines.<BR/><BR/>Eye candy on your Windows pc may or may not aid productivity. I personally like a lean-mean system. Some customized icons are helpful and a killer desktop is always inspirational, but I prefer switching my XP systems from "Luna" style over to Windows "Classic" as I just seem to get more stuff done that way. That's why the apps. like Launchy will win me over. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for that catch on BB4WIN!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13777170.post-1156125064104316012006-08-20T20:51:00.000-05:002006-08-20T20:51:00.000-05:00Claus - looks like #8 BB4Win has been discontinued...Claus - looks like #8 BB4Win has been discontinued. bblean is still available. <BR/><BR/>I've tried RocketDock and RK Launcher but I'm partial to Launchy (http://www.launchy.net/) since it just indexes your drives rather than having to set up each program to launch. Just "alt" & "space" and type one or two letters of the program and it brings it up, hit "enter" and as they say at Taco Bell -- you're good to go.<BR/><BR/>HarmonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
