Launchy even automatically browses the program folders and generators a keyword database.

AutoHotkey has the biggest Windows automatisation department imaginable.

Please do not take it personal, Buzz. I just don’t get where ActiveWords would stand out. I can’t see a single feature which is not done by freebies in an even better way.

Because of HTML the scripts didn’t show up on my comment.

I will send them to you off line.

Two little scripts below. The first allows you to add websites on the fly in either I.E. or F.F.

I call it “addis” as in add internet site.

The second,

Allows you to toggle the monitor bar on/off.

As for Blagor’s comments, we are more than aware of the need to “Vistaize” the look/feel of our UI. We have been working ideas, and are hopeful we will have something really dazzling in the next few months.

the launcher capabilities are really useful but if you like a clean desktop I seriously wonder why you installed this Windows 98 fashioned ActiveWords.

It is several years old, barely received an overhaul since then, has a cluttered user interface, permanently occupies desktop space and can do nothing which a truckload of other launchers or text replacement utilities could not do better and free of charge.

Google AutoHotkey, PhraseExpress or Launchy.
