Keep Your Desktop Icon-Free With Launchy
Sometimes I find it stressful when I see lots of icons on my desktop. The more icons I have, the more I find it hard to figure out and find what I really need. An icon cluttered desktop also blocks my scenic wallpaper from being displayed well.
Enter Launchy
From the publisher’s site:
Launchy is a free windows utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager.
Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!
This light freeware made my desktop icon-free. Using customized hot keys I can open almost anything just by typing a keyword.
The latest version of Launchy can be downloaded from SourceForge.
