Launchy helps you to launch applications and tasks on your computer in a matter of a few keystrokes. It indexes your files and executable programs so that they're just a few keystrokes away, saving you lots of time.

• Previews of skins in the skins dialog
• Plugins can be used instantly, there's no need to restart Launchy
• Customizable Scanning: Shallow scanning of directories made possible
• All options under one dialog box
• Vista Compatible
• Launchy 2.0 has been entirely rewritten in QT

I really should mention that Launchy is looking so cool with a new default skin that they've added in this version. It's those dock like icons + reflection that make it look so professional. Have a look for yourself:
