    If I want any program on my PC, all I have to do is hit alt+space and type the first 1-3 letters, then hit enter. I have no icons anywhere. :D

    I'm really digging this so far, my only complaint is the fact that it doesn't search down through your drives completely, so I have to include my wow subdirectory etc.

    By default, it only indexes .lnk files. Have you added .EXE, .MSC and .CPL to all directories for the index? I only have "Program files" indexed and that picks up everything beneath that. Same for my other drivers.

    Yeah, I added those and it still didn't pick up on them. Then again I have the worlds most ridiculous directory structure ever. With 3 randomly sized hard drives with random programs on each. Honestly, I'm not a bad person!

    That said, I got it working by just adding a few subfolders (which was no big deal at all). I'm really, really enjoying this, so much cleaner, nicer to work with, and overall just...wonderful. I recommend it to everyone.

    This app is essential for me as well. When I use other someone else's PC I always try to ctrl+space and it frustrates the hell out of me haha.

    The app is probably the #1 thing you can do for you efficiency/productiveness.
