    This keeps getting better and better .Easy to use and reliable and uses little resources . The one thing I would wish for is drag and drop to add programs to the menu rather than using the Sendto command in Explorer . But I still rank it far and above the competition .

    I love this launcher. Instead of taking up space on my taskbar or system tray, like other software, this one has the menu appear with your hotkey wherever your cursor is on the screen. Extremely fast, lean and simple.

    It works!

    +, ctrl + numpad 0, assigned as hotkey.
    +, eats no screen area.
    -, allocates 9 mb ram, written in visual basic?
    +, free.
    -, menu designer a lil bit not user friendly, but still functional.
    +, absolute number 1 among all 20+ tested popular launcher.
    +, programmed lately, so it can be enhanced by the coder.
    +, fast.
