Just get it. Learn it. Then use it.

Saves more time than just about anything else I do. When I use Sarah's computer (which is launchy-less) I feel like putting my fist through it because I have to do everything manually.

Launchy - you want this.

Also see similar Quicksilver for mac.

super fun

Tip #1 Launchy is a calculator.
Alt+Space, 3500*.08 figures out tax for me. The other windows calc?
Start/All programs/accessories/system tools/calculator/3500*.08=

Tip #2 Launchy is Google and Wikipedia.
Alt+Space, goo (tab) searchwords
Ex: goo (tab) wedding photographer

Works with wiki as well. Alt+Space, Wik (tab) searchwords
Ex: wik (tab) boxing champions

um you're a couple years behind quicksilver.....but nice try catching up

talk to me like I'm 3. what does this do for me? *now's your chance to roll your eyes and Ginger's computer illiteracy.

Everytime I see this thread, I smile. So bump.

Ginger - it lets you open/launch stuff without sorting through folders for it. Say you have a doc that always gets printed for client meetings. Ours is in a folder on the shared drive, in documents/weddings/printout Instead of navigating thru all that, I push alt+space, type "print" and it shows me "Print This" which is the file name. I press enter it opens, I print it. No searching.

Say I want to open Excel, I alt+space, XL, enter and it's open.

It's speeeeeeeeeeeed. Really awesomeness on speed.

(Yes, I know quicksilver does the same thing - this one's for pc....)

Totally have to agree with you on this Matt. Also the built in Calculator is great for doing simple math too.

like alt+space 37*12.75

and it pops out an answer right quick. Way quicker than opening the calculator.
