Description:
Executor is a multi purpose launcher and a more advanced and customizable version of the default Windows run.
Executor's mission is to allow you to launch the following faster: programs / short-cuts, documents / files / folders, websites and internet resources, search with search criteria entered in Executor ("google executor", "wiki executor", "youtube arcade fire", "myspace nirvana", "groups best freeware video converter" and so on, as well as a number of build in special keywords for functions such as lock computer, shutdown, show date/time/week, show ip(s), hibernate, turn off monitor, (un)mute sound, start screensaver etc.
You may do a number of the above tasks combined with only one keyword, list and select from clipboard history, manipulate and list running applications, view all recent documents, do wildcard searches in history etc. (ctrl+r), send emails, do fast calculations.
How to accomplish this mission:
-Rather than browsing around in your ever growing windows-start menu you can assign Executor to a hotkey for fast accessibility.
-Text auto-completion. Entering just one letter in Executor can bring up the program you want to launch.
-History. The history contains the recent commands you used.
-Drop-down box or a Vista like list. For a fast list of all the auto-completion matches of the current text input. -Can also show history and all keywords.
-Besides keywords Executor can automatically add matching start-menu items, control panel items and other handy items to the drop-down or list.
-Additionally to the automatic scanning, you can also tell Executor which paths to scan for file extensions of choice.
-Icon. Executor can optionally try to find the icon of the current input (on by default). This can help for faster validation that this is the program etc. your looking for.
-Title. Executor can optionally show the title of the current input (off by default) This can also help for faster validation that this is the program etc. your looking for.
-Ease of adding keywords.
-Executor is very customizable, there is a fine line between not being customizable and being overkill option hell. Executor tries to balance this line.
-Optional Vista like list displaying matching items or auto-drop down list. -[ Screenshot ]-
-Keyword "find [text]" for using Windows Instant Search (Vista) feature or Windows Desktop Search (WDS for XP/2000 if available).
-Each keyword can be assigned a hotkey, so Executor can also function like many popular hotkey managers.
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).
-Url detection, Enter URLs directly (like www.google.com, mail.google.com, google.com or http://www.google.com).

-Besides keywords Executor can also optionally and dynamically add matching start-menu items, control panel items and other handy items to the drop-down/list.
-Ability to add your own paths to scan for user defined file extensions.
-Keyword "find [text]" for using Windows Instant Search (Vista) feature or Windows Desktop Search (WDS for XP etc.).
-Optional show icon for current keyword/input.

-Optional drop-down box can be set to auto-open (like windows run) displaying auto-completion suggestions.
-Optional Vista like list displaying matching items.
