Launchy: Forget your start menu

Recently I have been using this small but very effective utility for launching programs and opening/managing files. It makes my Start Menu redundant. No more clicking on the Start Menu and then searching for the particular program.

Install this software and you can do a lot of things with just pressing a couple of keys. Just Press Alt+Space and type the name of the program or folder you want to open, press enter and you are done. This is quite intuitive as well, so I need not write 'Word' for opening my word processor if I am using that more often.  Just type 'W' and it will show all the options.

It also quite useful when it comes to do simple calculations, you can do simple calculations withouth launching your Calculator. There are a number of plugins available to make it more useful.

You can download it (Get more info) from  http://launchy.net

Pownce - Some Invites Available

I have got some Pownce Invites available with me. Those who are interested in having a look at this much talked about this (oh.. yet another) social network which is meant for sharing files and events with friend, can get them.

The site has a nice look and if you are looking a tool through which you can send/share small files (upto 10 mb), pictures and bookmark to your friends, this can be useful for you.

Microsoft Live Folders

Microsoft has taken plunge into online storage, though their offering is nothing great to talk about, except it is from Microsoft. Live Folders provide you 500 MB of storage space with options to share with firends, public or just keeping it to yourself.

It is still in Private Beta and you can login with your Microsoft Live Id. I tried and could not find anything great which gives me any thought of trying it instead of Google Docs (if I am storing MS Office docs) or Box.net for general storage.
