I wrote last year about my using AppRocket to launch most of my programs. I've since switched over to SlickRun, which I also wrote about last year. Now I see that another App Launcher has come out, called Launchy. It looks pretty cool, but I'm not going to try it out, since I'm satisfied with SlickRun for now. If you want to clean your desktop of icons and launch programs, folders or bookmarks in a snap, give SlickRun or Launchy a try.
