launchy
Tool Tip: Launchy
I’ve grown tired of opening an explorer window and clicking through to the folder that I need. Oh if only there was a quicker way to do this?!
Actually, turns out there are plenty of options. I found an application called Launchy, that not only lets you launch applications quickly and without using the Start menu; it also lets you define custom actions to launch whatever you like!
www.launchy.net – an open source keystroke launcher.
Once I installed it and set it up to open when i hit CTRL-Space, I just added some custom commands to the “Runner” plugin available in the Options menu.
Here’s a great shortcut to open an explorer window at whatever folder you like:
Explorer /e,/root,C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ |
Here’s a screenshot of the ones I have just added for now. No doubt I’ll add even more of these in future. Once you set them up you can just type your keyword into Launchy and it’ll perform the action for you!
