Launchy is a utility that allows Windows users to press Alt-Spacebar, then start typing any program name to run. If the program exists on your system, then Launchy will suggest a completed name before you ever finish typing the whole name.

In the image to the right, I have typed "office", and Launchy suggests everything it can find related to "office", which includes Microsoft Word (which is what I wanted to load).

Here's another example. I typed "no" and Launchy suggested notepad - which was a very logical suggestion. Note also that it suggested Notepad++, which is my notepad replacement.
