What if I said, you may never have to use your mouse or touchpad again? Yes, Launchy is an application launcher for Windows. Launchy is a free utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager. Originally,  designed for Windows XP can be made to work in Windows 2000 as well.

Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!

For instance, to launch command prompt simply type “command” and press enter. If you are looking for more options, type “com” and press DOWN Arrow.
