this is a great, simple program — allows you to basically press alt+space and easily run any program in your start menu! (and any other dir/file you want!) Launchy.net “Launchy is a free windows utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager.”

this thing is GREAT! no need to try to create my own VPN or anything, every computer that has this app installed on it will be on the same lan over any internet connection! GREAT for filesharing/gaming/you name it!! http://www.hamachi.cc/
