Application Launcher / Chooser ?


Question

Hi guys,

This is kind of a useless little piece of software i'm after, but it would work quite nice i think save me a bit of time. SO, i was wondering if anyone knew of an application that works like a launcher/chooser.

example. i use foobar for flac and itunes for mp3's etc. when i press the media key on my keyboard, i want it to popup on screen with an option of which application to launch (using arrow keys and enter, or a mouse)...

i've done a little mockup below of how i picture the app, but it's more just an idea of what i'm looking for. hopefully the app already exists in a similar format.

I don't know of any program that will do this. The closest thing I know of is Browser Chooser, but that's only for web browsers.

The best I can suggest is to edit the context menu to show the Open With dialog by default. Use Default Programs Editor to add a new menu item with the following command:

"C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe" C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1

thanks. browser chooser looks exactly like what i need, if only it weren't restricted to browsers...

i'll look into the other other option, but doesn't seem like its the perfect fit.
