Glad to help! It wouldn't have occurred to me as quickly as it did, except that I use Sysinternals' Process Explorer as a Task Mangler replacement - it allows you to see a hierarchical list of processes, as well as the usual sorted lists - and a week or two ago I happened to notice that CMD was running as a child of Launchy. Actually, "noticed" is too strong a word - but today it clicked. Learn something new every day, eh?

So until I got hooked on Launchy, I was wasting a lot of time poking around the Start Menu. Since using Launchy, I've had to find other ways to waste time... -- www.fsrtechnologies.com
