SlickRun - Today's Free File

SlickRun is my newest favorite utility. It's a very small and simple
application launcher, but packs some pretty powerful features into it's tiny self. Along with allowing you to assign
keywords to applications and launch them, you can quickly navigate to both local folders on your filesystem as well as
websites. Simply hit the SlickRun hotkey combination, type your destination and press Enter, and whammo - you're
there. SlickRun also contains a very useful Jot application for taking notes. It automatically saves so you don't need
to remember to, will accept any text that is dragged and dropped onto it, and timestamps entries to make finding them
again easier. It also contains a Find function.
If you're looking for a faster way to get around
your Windows system, give SlickRun a try. It's free, and fast, and does what it does extremely well.

I used to use this one a few years back. It was quite helpful then, and it looks like it's quite helpful still. Switched computers and forgot all about it. Good stuff here.

And just how is this different from the Run dialog (Win+R) a bit more exactly? Better descriptions please.
