Executor - launcher and a more powerful customizable version of windows run.

April 10th, 2008 | by Randy |


Executor is a more powerful 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 found myself using windows run more and more frequently. There was of course already programs like this available, but each had it´s annoyance or missing features or too(!) geeky. So I decide to code my own.

Features:

  • Keywords have properties like shortcuts, and you can for example drag-drop a shortcut/file/folder/favorite to add it as a keyword.
  • Auto-completion for keywords, file system and history (can also be configured).
  • Enter URLs directly (like www.google.com or http://www.google.com).
  • Keywords support parameters. Example “google latest executor” “wiki nirvana”.
  • Optional show icon for current keyword/input.
  • Optional show drop-down box for current keyword/input (auto-completion).
  • Optional drop-down box can be set to auto-open (like windows run) displaying auto-completion suggestions.
  • Optional Vista like list displaying matching items.
  • Layout can be customized. Set colors, font, dimensions, position, transparency and more.
  • Skinable.
  • Many settings to customize the program as you like.
  • Shortcut keys for faster navigation.
  • Can be launched from an user defined hotkey.
  • One keyword or text input can start multiple keywords/urls/programs/documents/files etc. Example one keyword opens three websites and/or programs.
  • A number of special commands (like for example pause and replace tag with parameter).
  • Optional windows context-menu integration (as another way of easily adding new keywords).
  • Optional show title for the current input.
  • Can import keywords from windows start-menu.
  • Integrated calculator.
  • Import/Export keywords.
  • Option to override windows run hotkey (Win-R).
  • Optional sounds.
  • Freeware.
  • Plus more…
