Five Best System Tray Applications
Click to viewThe Windows system tray can be so much more than a parking lot for programs you don't want cluttering up your task bar. Read on to see the five most popular tray tools readers can't live without. Earlier this week we asked you to share your favorite applications system tray applications, with an emphasis on applications that exist primarily in the tray. It was a broader topic to be su
Simplistic application launcher with Namely
Mac only: Freeware utility Namely is a stripped down application launcher. Unlike Lifehacker favorite, Quicksilver, which can be daunting for a newcomer, Namely is very simple and only indexes applications. With customizable hotkeys and positioning, Namely is more similar to a Mac equivalent of Launchy. If you're a recent switcher or never found the time to learn Quicksilver, Namely is a lightweig
Take Launchy beyond application launching
Click to viewMost people know Launchy as a simple and lightning-fast application launcher for Windows, but it's actually capable of much more than that. Using Launchy, you can append text to files, schedule appointments, add to your to-do list, set reminders, and more—it just takes a little setting up. Today I'll detail how I use Launchy for more than just app launching. The real brains behind mos
Set Quicksilver's default selection for a command
Quicksilver lovers who are sick of arrow-ing down QS's list of suggestions for a keyword can manually set an item as the default. For example, if you want typing "tex" to open TextWrangler and not TextEdit, Ctrl+click on TextWrangler on the suggestion list and choose "Set as Default for TEX." Quicksilver's pretty smart about figuring out what you want most of the time based on usage frequency, but
Run terminal commands in Launchy
One of our favorite Windows keyword launchers, Launchy, can run terminal commands like Mac's Quicksilver. Reader Ammar writes in with how he does it - using a batch file: I simply created a file in my Launchy indexed folder called " run.bat" which contains: cd c:\ cmd /K "%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 Now, all I have to do is type "run" in Launchy, hit tab, and enter whatever command I want with up to s
New Quicksilver for Windows app Skylight looks very promising
New Quicksilver for Windows app Skylight looks very promising Windows only: Freeware application Skylight is a file and application launcher of the Quicksilver ilk, providing quick access to programs, files, and then some. Anyone who's spent much time with Quicksilver on the Mac knows what a huge productivity boost the wildly extensible Quicksilver can provide. Hell, I've covered Quicksilver from
Replace Windows Explorer with Xplorer2
Click to viewLet's face it: for advanced file manipulation, Windows File Explorer stinks. But like Firefox is a must-have replacement for Internet Explorer, a file manager called Xplorer2 blows Windows Explorer out of the water for anyone who browses multiple folders, copies, pastes, moves and searches the PC filesystem frequently. Using Xplorer2's tabbed, dual pane interface, keyboard shortcuts a
Getting Things Done with Google Notebook
Click to viewFans and followers of the Getting Things Done personal productivity system have hacked all sorts of ways to GTD in different applications, from Microsoft Outlook to plain text to Gmail. But one of Google Labs' less-hyped applications, Notebook, is very well-suited to instant capture and easy processing of your GTD lists. Today I've got the scoop on how to manage your inbox, projects,
Pipe commands to cmd.exe with switches
Lifehacker reader Paladin writes in with some smart command line-fu for running quick commands using command line switches: Whenever I want to do a quick "ping google.com" to see whether my network connection is working, I pull up the Run box and run cmd /c ping google.com (or, under Launchy, cmd /c ping google.com ). The /c argument tells the command processor to open, run the specified command,
Download of the Day: PDFCreator (Windows)
Windows only: Free, open source application PDFCreator is an all-in-one PDF Swiss Army knife. Aside from the whole print-to-PDF functionality we're so fond of here at Lifehacker, PDFCreator has a slew of other wildly useful PDF tools, like encryption, autosave filing based on tags, and PDF merging. If PDFs aren't really your thing, you can even save files as PNG, JPG, and more. I mentioned doPDF a
