Executor
is a multipurpose launcher and a more advanced and customizable version
of Windows Run. The program originated as I was sick of spending too
much time searching for programs through my ever growing windows
start-menu, and also I missed a tool that could ease and optimize my
daily work flow. There was of course already programs like this
available, but each had it's annoyance or missing features or too(!)
geeky. Features include: keywords that have properties like
shortcuts--for example you can drag and drop a
shortcut/file/folder/favorite to add it as a keyword; auto-completion
for keywords, file system and history; URL detection;
parameter-supported keywords like "google latest executor" or "wiki
nirvana"; dynamically added start-menu items, control panel items and
other handy items to the drop-down/list; and the ability to add your
own paths to scan for user defined file extensions.

Version 0.98
adds the ability to add custom scan paths for indexing/scanning;
customizble keyword icons; a more organized settings interface, and
many other new features and fixes.
