SlickRun
SlickRun is a free floating command line utility for Windows. SlickRun gives you
almost instant access to any program or website. SlickRun allows you to
create command aliases (known as MagicWords), so C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe becomes MAIL.
Enter a web URL into SlickRun and it will launch your browser and navigate to the specified address.
Run multiple programs in a few keystrokes, jot a note, look up a definition...
SlickRun is the most natural way to interact with your computer.
Please note, SlickRun is not a "hotkey" program.
If you want a program that lets you press some wacky keyboard shortcut (say,
Shift + Win + 1) to run to something, you'll want to find a different
utility. SlickRun is designed to be far more intuitive than "hotkey"
programs-- You shouldn't have to keep an awkward mental list of hotkeys for
launching your favorite programs. Instead, just type whatever's most
natural for you to remember; with auto-completion, you'll rarely type more
than 2 or 3 characters anyway. User-defined
imperative words are easier to recall than arbitrary characters like
keystrokes. Origin Story
