Executor is launcher and a more powerful and customizable version of windows run. The program originated when the author became sick of spending too much time searching for programs through his ever growing windows start-menu and found himself using the Run feature more and more often. There were of course already programs like this available, but each had its annoyances or missing features.

Features include: customizable keywords, history, auto-completion (keywords, history, file system), drop-down or vista like list, hotkeys. Besides keywords Executor can automatically match start-menu items, control panel items and other handy items, start-menu importer, a "Find [text]" keyword that uses Windows Instant Search (Vista) or Windows Desktop Search (XP etc). skinable, very customizable, url and email detection, one keyword can launch multiple keywords/files/urls/programs etc, optional icon and program title display, customizable hotkey, a number of special commands and parameters, filesystem autocompletion, optional sounds, intergrated calculator and more.

This latest beta introduces more eye-candy in form of skin supporting alpha blending, free positioning of core elementals, transparent edit control etc. and of course some new features and bug fixes.

This is BETA software!, please use caution when installing it on your system
