liverare Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Finding application Quick-hand calculator My friend recommended me Launchy to help do away with the shortcuts messing up my desktop. Once you've downloaded Launchy, hit ALT + SPACE to...launch! Can launch applications. Can be calculator. Can [TAB] on browser search to then be able to type URL. Can type in URL and load with default browser. Can [sHIFT + DELETE] to re-order the query list. 10/10 TO ADD STEAM APPLICATIONS AND NEW SHORTCUTS EASILY: Create a new folder in My Documents, entitle it "shortcuts". Add a shortcut to that folder on your desktop. (for later convenience) Add all your shortcuts, including Steam and non-Steam applications. Go into the Launchy settings, then catalog. Find and add that newly created folder into the list of existing directories. Select that new list item and then add the following file types: (Steam applications = *.url, regular applications = *.lnk). Oh and rename your shortcuts if you think they're going to be a hassle to type in later. "Include executables" for standalone, lightweight applications you want to dump into that folder as well. "Rescan Catalog" (button at the bottom-left) to find the stuff you've added. "Ok" to close the settings page. Enjoy. A sweet theme to install 20/10 Edited to make it a quicker read.
