SlickRun - Really sweet

Slick run is a tiny desktop utility, which makes a developers job easier by reducing the mouse usage. How? This utility gives you an ability to give a short name to any application that is in your system, and when when you want that application to load just type the name in the SlickRun window. Again SlickRun window is not the regular window, but a small text box like interface, which is docked in the right hand corner of your desktop, just above the taskbar. You can download the app here.

This really makes my life more simple.
