SlickRun

[6Foot2]

I came across SlickRun available for download this morning.

 

SlickRun Download: Link

 

The site says:

 

"SlickRun is a 32-bit floating command line utility for Windows. Occupying less than 1.5% of a 800x600 display, SlickRun gives you almost instant access to any program on your computer. SlickRun allows you to create command aliases, 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. Jot a note, look up a definition... SlickRun does it all!"

 

OK so ignoring the hype after it is installed the default SlickRun commands seem to be:

 

[amazon] Go to the amoazon website.

[babel] Go to the babelfish website.

[book] Find a named book from the AFind selected word using the Webster Online Dictionary.

[encyc] Find entry in MSN Online Encyclopedia.

[google] I think we all know that one.

[goto] Goto a nominated page using google as the engine.

[hibernate] Hibernate Windows.

[lock] Lock the station using the windows screensaver.

[mail] Start Windows Mail.

[morning] Goto GotApex? Deals & Coupon Codes to look for early morning deals[?]

Find an entry on The Internet Movie Database (IMDb).

[msnbc] Goto the news website of MSNBC.

[myyahoo] Goto http://my.yahoo.com.

[paint] Start Paintbrush.

[player] Start Windows Media Player.

[shutdown] Shut the computer down.

(The values in brackets are the commands typed to get SlickRun to do something)

 

The commands can be edited and new commands can be added. I am not sure I like it yet but I thought some others might so here it is.
