@ reddy.shyam Memory footprint? If you have a really low end system (256MB RAM or less) then maybe you should worry about each application you install. Other than that make a test: start the application and if you note that your PC performance is really bad compared to what it was before than you have a problem, than you can say the application uses too much RAM or things like these. If not than you're probably don't know what your saying and you probably don't know that system itself manage the memory usage and not the application itself. Of course I'm not talking about an application with bugs... Well, make the test first before stating things that doesn't matter at all. PS: this kind of unjustified worry about RAM started in the 90's when RAM was too expensive.

The Disk Defragmenter problem with XP64 still persists in this version - not surprising since the bug hasn't even been assigned to someone for investigation yet. Furthermore, it manifests itself in Vista64, albeit somewhat differently: Due to Vista64's different account privilege structure, the app isn't allowed to touch the Start Menu for All Users, which is where it made the change under XP64. Hence, the app simply completely fails to run Disk Defragmenter and you get... ...nothing. Code arbitrarily changing things like that == Bad Code. THREE stars until this mess, which has persisted silently since Launchy 1.x (I downloaded it and tested), is fixed.

I have a 32 bit system and since it's one of the very indispensable little programs for me I give it 5 out of 5 - I tried all other launchers I could find and Launchy is simply the best of the lot. @Jille: Launchy isn't a calculator... I think the 1/5 rating is for your inability to read...

Um. I don't know what the other poster was thinking. This application works fine on my Vista x64 SP1 production system. Awesome application!

Still broken on x64 systems (XP and vista) and hence useless to me. THREE stars until the issue is properly resolved. Edit: The issue has now been corroborated on SourceForge several other 64-bit users. Vista users may not notice it because Vista's heightened security posture tries to block access to that shortcut.. In short, this app is junk and a security risk until it's fixed. ONE star.

it's a must have time saving addon.

Similar to www.executor.dk, which I used for months now. The ability to add plugins is a plus, the default skins and GUI also look better. I like both, haven't yet decided which one to keep.
