I was really exited when I found this program launcher as it has the same interface as my Stream Deck. So COOL!!! But, with stream deck I can close programs as well with hotkeys assigned to a button. That is great as I don’t have to remember the hotkey, all I have to do is

I launch programs in a variety of ways, with hotkeys, from the task bar, Quick Access Popup, Executor & AHK Command Picker. MaxLauncher While looking on SourceForge MaxLauncher came up, it has a keyboard that you can assign files or programs to launch from. I thought its display was pretty cool , and easy to

I’m looking at AutoIt as alternative to AutoHotKey and there are some things its better at apparently but they are not made too clear in my opinion after some searching on the interwongle. It seems to be more accepted by businesses and also seems to get a lot more malware hits as its used to

Further to previous post on Bookmarklets, I’ve been using them and find them easy to use, practical & they do increase my web browsing productivity. I was thinking that there may be a few more I could find. Bookmarklet Combiner One issue I do have is that they take up ribbon space in the Bookmark
