Launchy

Cool Application Launcher you've probably heard of: Launchy

 

What I like about it is you can program in command line scripts that you might repetitively have to do 3 or more steps which include opening the command prompt console.

 

Here are a couple scripts examples of lines that I type a lot that can be simplified in Launchy...

 

Remote Desktop:

*Ctrl+R (Run Dialogue Box)

mstsc /f /v 192.168.1.1 -admin

*Enter

*Launchy Quick Key

mstsc [press tab] 192.168.1.1

*Enter

@echo off
cmd /c start mstsc /f /v:"%1" -admin

 

 

 

Ping from Command Prompt:

*Ctrl+R (Run Dialogue Box)

cmd

*Enter

ping 192.168.1.1

*Enter

*Launchy Quick Key

ping [press tab] 192.168.1.1

*Enter

@echo off
cmd /K ping "%1" 

 

 

 

Type any syntax using Command Prompt:

*Note: depending on how many modifiers you have you would add more %# to the code, this one denotes up to 8

*Ctrl+R (Run Dialogue Box)

cmd

*Enter

ipconfig /renew (just an example)

*Enter

*Launchy Quick Key

cmd [press tab] ipconfig /renew

*Enter

@echo off
cd c:\
cmd /K "%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8"

 

 

 

/K: keep console open after running script

/C: close console after running script

 

I just wrote them based off the provided cmd.bat and figured some other members here would use those two specific commands frequently. Saves me quite a bit of time as I found myself pinging and using rdp in that fashion quite often.
