Executor provides a fully customizable alternative to Windows Run that gives you a personalized multi-purpose launcher and more.

The program was designed to alleviate searching for programs from the Start menu. This may not be an issue for all, but those with some things in the start menu will surely agree that having to scroll through large amounts of programs, etc., can be pretty time-consuming. This streamlining of your work process is where Executor comes into its own by giving you a way to launch programs quickly and optimize your daily workflow.

Executor can be set up with various skins, layouts, and operation modes, depending on what you like or need. You can configure it to display keyword-based suggestions, strings, and more. All entries are quickly searched for as soon as you enter the app's search area, which will filter results and provide suggestions as you go. A simple double-click will launch your target app, Windows context menu, open a folder, copy full path, etc. And while not in use, Executor sites down in the systray permitting quick deployment. Once you have Executor configured to your work habits and needs, it will be a great asset in making the workday flow.
