    Nice Litte Command Line App

    I stumbled across this nice little application (1mb including the app and the db) this morning that allows you to quickly automate the opening of applications. Rather than cluttering up your desktop or building 50 custom MMC's to open tasks, just add them into SlickRun, a "32-bit floating command line utility for Windows". It's small, it's free and it's non-intrusive. I'll be installing it on the servers here in the office and on our fleet. Just another 'neat' little program.

    Saw that reviewed on TechTv this past week. Seemed pretty cool
    The sun has fallen down
    And the billboards are all leering
    And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.

    Still playing with it here... Rather than a hundred shortcuts in IE (or Opera) I just create 'magic words' like AK which in turn brings me right to the forum. I've got other magic words that peform AD tasks for me too. While building taskpad views in MMC is nice, this is a little quicker.

    I've been using it every since Sarah showed it on the screen savers. I've only been using it at work so far and to be honest, I use it "some" but not a whole lot. I like setting keywords to my Firebird.exe since I have IE6 as my default browser... when I know I want tabbed browsing, I use Firebird so it works out pretty well.

    Need little app though.
