The Vista search bar cannot launch websites.

Besides this Launchy is faster in finding stuff ... and more accessable too.

Just let you hand drop onto the keyboard ... on ALT + Space key .... you cannot have it any more convenient than that.


Vista's search & launch is good ... but Launchy is better !

I'm not sure what you mean it cannot launch websites. I just tried www.hardocp.com and http://www.hardocp.com and both addresses worked just fine launching Internet Explorer and taking me to HardOCP.

As for faster.. again, my application ran and search result came up the instant I hit enter. You really can't get any faster than that. Can you clarify what you mean by searching faster?

Oh, hmpf.

Sorry, I didn't think that would work in Vista but I just tried it and ... it does work

Plz ignore me

I was just looking to install Rocket Dock, as I wanted a grouping of my games and common applications other than the dozen that are on my taskbar.

Unfortunately, there is no x64 version for 64bit XP/Vista/7 users?

That stinks

 

[kencheeto]

if you guys aren't using ninite already.. it makes a lot of this really simple.

It still works fine.

QFT. Even though there hasn't been an update in a while... I've NEVER had any issues.

• JAP and TOR (http://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/index_en.html)

Don't know how long you've been using JAP, but they have a history of not being trusted. A backdoor was found years ago. It has since then been removed, but lots of people don't trust them now...rightfully so. For being anonymous I would recommended JanusVM, or using the TOR package.

And someone mentioned ZoneAlarm.. Really? ZoneAlarm is a joke!

Few apps that are a must for me:
VLC
ITCH
Thunderbird
Chrome
putty
unlocker
WinISO/winimage
utorrent
vmware workstation
winamp
pathsync

You run both?
