Slickrun, excellent! Thankyou.

[SI]

After a number of years being a Slickrun user I just thought it was
totally remiss of me not to contact the developer and say a whopping
thankyou for this excellent software. Without SlickRun XP3 would be
broken as far as I am concerned. I use it every day. It's natural,
saves a heck of a lot of time navigating, and is easy to configure.
Fits the bill exactly. Long my its development continue....IOW, please
don't let it die, it's too good to fade away.

Just a note about something I was pondering on: I do think SR could do
with some mega promotion. It strikes me that if more people knew that
SlickRun existed then you'd be inundated. With Websites and GUIs all
looking Vista'd and W7'd up nowadays, I think a website facelift would
certainly do more good than harm. I hope that isn't taken the wrong
way...I am sure it won't be.

As an aside, I'd like to mention how I use SR, because I am sure
everyone has their own way.

I have slickrun configured to be almost transparent...it is clearly
visible though. On selecting the SR command box it changes to a darker
colour, like an on/off state, or onclick state if you like. It is
centred at the bottom of my screen, just above the taskbar. And it is
always on top, so SR is permanently available to me, no matter what I
an doing. As a picture tells it better, here are three, the first
without SR being selected, the second after clicking in the SR command
box, and the third, after clicking in the SR command box whilst an app
is maximised (browser in this case).

Furthermore, I have a folder in the root drive with all my 'tools' and
utilities in it....99.9 percent of them portable. This folder is added
to Windows environment variable list and path. So, I have access to
literally hundreds of tools and utilities simply by typing directly
into the SR command box, and also without adding any magic words. Notw
that's 'slick'. I think yu can use your imagination to setup SR the
way it suits you best.

Thankyou ever so much. Absolutely brilliant bit of kit. It's sort of
part of my desktop now and I'd be totally lost without it.
