Hi Idle,

Nice one mate, thanks for sharing.

So is this a kind of "Launchy" type app? (Difference is, you're searching the drive contents, versus just searching Start Menu entries).

P.S. nice, simple, slick interface - even nicer if you had resize

Grrr. Before I even have time people make things like this... I'm NOT GOING TO LOOK AT IT.

(Oh wait... source included? Maybe I can rip some things...)

Thanks Amundo it was inspired by Bluenznl thread.
No that would be Grrrunt to you Blueznl, you had scarpered off for a week, so what was I to do!

I actually posted it as I wanted to get some feedback on it.
Like does it run on vista and win7 and also wanted some thoughts about making it Unicode compatible.
which could be a problem for the Trie structure.

It works on my win7 x86, tried to scan one drive and all went as expected, nice

Thanks Luis

Can't help that. Visited Africa for a few days, and thus was a bit busy

Interesting place to go for a business trip.
well at least you can easily add it into your framework
I only went with the drive searching as it was easier than writing code for lnk files.
I'm pretty sure there's an example of that on the board somewhere.

I've been thinking how to do group launches so you can define the group
either drag and drop into another list and assign a key or
just assign the same key to multiple items.
I might get around to it in the weekend or next week though don't have much time

just a quick update link in first post

v1.3
Added Shell lnk to users StartUp folder
Changed location of runt.lbn to users application data \ runt
Added popup menu to systray right click

Changed the file format so you'll need to nuke the runt.lbn and rescan for files
under users ApplicationData\runt

Also finally got around to adding a Group Launcher
it's still a bit clunky due to the click events executing on the mouse up
so make sure you click on the item in the left panel list before dragging it across to the tree gadget

To add new launch group
right click in the right panel

To add item to launch group
Type in part or file name
Navigate to the correct file in the list (up down left right) keys
Click on the item in the list
Drag the item to the launch group

to launch the group
show runt
type the number

Added Save Restore Desktop Icon position

Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum. The download link is dead so I wonder if anyone has runt available for download?
