Shortcut Launchers

Scott blogged about a few cool shortuct launchers for Windows. Personally I’ve used SlickRun the longest, followed by AppRocket and recently tried Colibri. Colibri is very slick but could use some features like Directory Browsing. AppRocket hasn’t been really updated in a while and could also use a few new features (like showing folder pathnames when multiple folder matches exist).

update: looks like Launchy is a good mix of Colibri and AppRocket with a really slick UX.

What about using the Deskbar shortcuts in MS Desktop Search?

Not as elegant as Launchy, and to much noise in the results when I want my shortcut launcher to be explicitly scoped.
