Publisher's description of SlickRun
From Bayden Systems: SlickRun is a floating command line utility for Windows. SlickRun gives you almost instant access to any program or website. SlickRun allows you to create command aliases (known as MagicWords), so C:Program FilesOutlook Expressmsimn.exe becomes MAIL. Enter a URL into SlickRun and it will launch your browser and navigate to the specified address. Run multiple programs in a few keystrokes, jot a note, look up a definition.

Editor's review of SlickRun
Graphic interfaces are a godsend, but rummaging through the Windows Start menu or scouring the desktop to find a desired program or document can sometimes get frustrating. SlickRun, like a handful of rivals, offers a command-line interface that can save time. A floating text box allows users to launch programs or documents quickly simply by typing in associated words ("Mail" for Outlook Express, for example). An autocomplete feature shortens the process even further, requiring only a few letters before settling on the right program. Unfortunately, the Help file is confusing, and the utility takes up more memory than we would have liked to see. We would nevertheless recommend it happily to command-line buffs or anyone else seeking at-the-fingertip shortcuts to commonly used files.
