Do you ever find yourself having to open a multitude of different folders during the creation of your photoshop or premier elements projects? I have my music in one, photos spread across hundreds of folders, video files in dozens more and a library of high definition and SD cut aways that I have built up over time. Thats a lot of mouse movement and clicking to find what I need at times. Yes I have a whole host of shortcuts setup but you need to have the screen real-estate to manage them all and I like to work with a clear desktop.
I recently started using a piece of software called launchy and I can report that it saves me huge amounts of time. Basically once installed everything on your computer is only ever a few key presses away. You can decide what launchy is allowed to find and launch. If I am in the middle of a photoshop elements project and need to access layouts etc all I have to do is hold the alt key and press the spacebar to activate launchy. You get a small window pop up and you just type a few characters of the name of whatever you need to find and hey presto its there on the screen for you. Its totally free but your able to donate to the guy who wrote it if you think its worth it. I liked it so much that I paid him.
Just thought I would share.
