Hi drew, I actually checked out launchy a couple weeks ago. I didn’t like it because it seemed like you had to type the actual name of the program (visual studio) instead of making shortcuts like I can in slickrun (vs = Visual Studio 2005).

Is this possible in launchy?

There is also another program called Launchy (http://www.launchy.net) that indexes the programs on your system. I simply hit alt-space and type vm and my vmware worstation starts. You should check it out.

Though I love automation like this, I found an application to manage my RDP sessions: visionapp Remote Desktop. It’s awesome. You can record your credentials in one location and apply them in a hierarchical fashion.

Thats a good idea Joe, I didn’t know you could embed parameters like that, cool!

I have RD into a good number of servers so I do something very similar, except pass in the name of the server with the command. So in my parameters i have “/v $W$” and then I can hit my hotkey and type “rd {serverName}”
