Hot Key Center Description:

Hot Key Center lets you start any program, document, or music file on your computer by typing one hotkey and then a few characters of its name. It's ideal for people who would rather keep both hands on the keyboard than waste precious seconds reaching for the mouse and hunting through the start menu. Its different from other hotkey managers because you only have to remember one key combination to pop up the menu.
This attractive program is fun to use. With its skin editor, you can make it slide onto your desktop in one of seven ways. The unique menu can be partially transparent, and by changing the background image you can make it look like whatever you want.
