Is there an app launcher like this?

[Guest Anusha Dharmasena]

When I was using the Nokia 5700XM, I had a little software called appqlaunch where I could launch any program or control panel item by typing the name... just like you do with Windows Vista start menu. It was really awesome as I didn't have to remember how to get to programs... and it was way faster too!

Is there anything like that available for WinMo 6.1? I hate having to dig into many menu items to launch apps on my new Omnia :/

I have my Homebrewed launcher

to have fast access to programs

or any other Commandline with Parameter if wanted.

You can configure Your own 'Commands.txt'

wich will be loaded in a listbox at startup.

(Example on command-line in file below)

3 Lines are Omnia-specific,

the other lines are ControlPanel Shortcuts

Syntax

<Info>;<Command>;<Parameter>;;

"<Info>" is what is visible in Listbox

Select command from listbox and tap a button

or doubleclick in list to launch it.

It is also a Commandline.textbox+Parameter.textbox

where You can type shortcut+parameter and launch it.

If You are interested You can have a copy of it...
