I came up with some more ttf loving ones, but I don't think you guys will get to see it until version 1.0 of ttf comes out :)

oh hey, Launchy has its own thread. here are couple of alternatives that I'm going to look into:

Executor
Enso

something about both Launchy and Executor made them lock up when I typed a backslash. I essentially want the run dialog but on steroids and can't seem to find it. Windows sucks. I tried Windows Desktop Search too and it was stupid and had stupid keyboard shortcuts. I don't really want to install Google Desktop either for some reason. time to turn my work computer into a Hackintosh.

ok I am back with Launchy for now. I wanted to find something to replace desktop and quick launch icons for launching programs and stuff but I will stick with Launchy just to find files that are buried in stupid directory structures and stuff for now.
