Hello.

I'd like to know any "application launcher" utility for Windows, that would
be like:

- A "menu bar" where I would have sorted applications by type (e.g.
Graphics, Internet, Games, Mathematics, Text, Programming, System), which
would - upon clicked - bring a menu with the applications inside them.

Sort of a Windows quick launch bar on steroids, because I would like to
browse through it with keyboard shortcuts, and it would need to handle a
large number of applications (more than 100 - yes, I use all this)

Any suggestions? I don't know if I made myself clear.

SlickRun

SlickRun is a free 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 Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe becomes MAIL.

Enter a web 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... SlickRun is the most
natural way to interact with your computer.

Please note, SlickRun is not a "hotkey" program. If you want a
program that lets you press some wacky keyboard shortcut (say, Shift
+ Win + 1) to run to something, you'll want to find a different
utility. SlickRun is designed to be far more intuitive than
"hotkey" programs-- You shouldn't have to keep an awkward mental
list of hotkeys for launching your favorite programs. Instead, just
type whatever's most natural for you to remember; with
auto-completion, you'll rarely type more than 2 or 3 characters
anyway. Studies have shown that user-defined imperative words are
much easier to recall than arbitrary characters like keystrokes.
