Description
Small and quick shell utility for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP that keeps track of your most recently and most frequently used programs and lets you quickly relaunch them. It works similarly to the Start Menu's Documents submenu that shows the last several documents you've opened. Use program's "Run" window instead of awkward standard Windows' one! You can setup Favorites Menu on your own to get an immediate access to the applications.
Review
This application is supposed to make accessing frequently used programs and files a breeze, though its processes are more of a headache than anything else. After rebooting your system to complete installation, RunIt places five icons in your system tray to quickly access recently used applications, most frequently used programs, your favorite applications and Web sites, a run function, and a process logger. You also can assign hot keys to access these areas. In all honesty, its useful features, such as listing recently used applications and favorites, aren't performed any better than Windows does. Its interface is cluttered with lots of other superfluous options that just make using RunIt a nuisance. For example, ordering of menu items, which drives to track, whether you'd like small or large icons, it goes on and on. Free or not, you'll fare much better sticking with your Windows launcher.
