Keyboard Launchpad is a very useful application that allows you to assign hotkeys to launching different applications and executing system commands. This software can save a lot of your valuable time: hotkeys let you perform tasks faster than always. A good thing about this utility is that it works with any program you use. For example, you can assign hotkeys to pause or resume the music you are playing in Winamp or any other media player. The benefits of that is that you do not have to click on Winamp, search for the pause button and click it in order to stop the music, but you could be writing something and just click on the hotkey for the music to stop, or to switch the track. Not to mention, you can configure the program to launch any application after you press a defined key combination.
Keyboard Launchpad doesn't use too much system resources. If you have Windows XP or Windows Vista and a screen resolution of 1024 (width) and 768 (height), the program will most likely work perfectly.
I recently downloaded Key Launcher and it's been a great way to quickly launch programs, videos, and webpages
