Microsoft Speed Launch is a free application that lets you instantly launch any application, Web site or document using any word or phrase you choose. The app places a "bulls-eye" on your desktop. When you encounter anything you want to be able to quickly launch in the future, just drag and drop it on the "bulls-eye." It will prompt you for a name. For example, let's say you run across a YouTube video that comically explores what would happen if Lassie were a cat. If you want to show people later, just drag the URL into Speed Launch and type "Cat." Later, just enter Windows+C and type "cat," and the video pops up. This is just one of thousands of examples of apps that hardly anyone knows about, but that are free, powerful and , let's face it, really should be part of Windows.
