And is there something I'm missing about Enso? I am a constant user of Launchy and it's one of the first programs I install on a new computer I'm using. I also just started RocketDock, although I'm not totally sold on it being better than the Start Menu/Task Bar, but that may change over time. In addition, I occasionally use scripts in AutoHotKey, but that's slightly more tedious.<br> <br> I also just installed Ubiquity to use within Firefox.<br> <br> I always like to find better tools if they're available, as the difference between using Launchy and not using it was like night and day and if there's something better, I want to know.<br> <br> Enso seems to be beloved by many, but to my eyes it looks like a more complicated Launchy and little more. Instead of "Firefox" I have to type "open Firefox." Is there something I'm missing that makes this worthwhile? I'm happy to use both if using Enso occasionally has advantages over just using Launchy. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.100234 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 08:29:51 -0800 applauncher enso launcher launchy quicksilver rocketdock abkadefgee http://ask.metafilter.com/26900/CD%2DLauncher Does there exist a CD Launcher? I have a HUGE stack of old CD's and CD-ROM's. Has anyone invented a "toy" which will fire these things in a lethal or otherwise manner?<br> <br> I live near the sea, and an added attraction would be to snorkle for CD's.

I've tried tons of different launcher tools on Windows, but haven't found any that match the power of either of these. Ideally, this tool would periodically index start menu items, and provide a command line window to enter launch commands (with partial/abbreviation matching).
