Pretty run was started years ago when Windows knew nothing about searching through start menu. It helps you find shortcuts.

Many times we know we have some program somewhere in the start menu but just takes too much time to locate its icon and run it. Pretty Run helps you with that as it searches start menu, desktop or any other folder for the shortcuts or files that meet your query.

With Vista Windows got their own search box. But Pretty Run is now much more:
- Search Internet Explorer favorites
- Search Firefox bookmarks
- Search Chrome bookmarks
- Search printers and start printer properties
- Search Control panel items
- Setup internet search engines and you can search internet with selected engine
- Remember last items copied to clipboard and bring them back in case you need them
- Search mp3 files (not file names but tags)
- Run a group of programs with one click
- Setup your magic words and start favorite programs really quickly"
"

Opinion:
For me one of the best program launchers out there. It is portable, supports environment variables, the program itself has "One special variable: "PrettyRunDrive", which will give you the drive where PrettyRun.exe is, so you can setup magic words for portable version. Very easy to use, hotkey activation, finds programs that are in "Start Senu", or any place the user defines. Magic Words are great, also has a list of latest launched items.

I forgot to explain that you first have to install the program, then you have to launch the program and go to its options, and there is an advance option to make it portable. I could ask the author to put the zipped portable version ready, if you consider this app good for LiberKey suite.

Regards.

Instead of installing to get the portable files you can use Universal Extractor (available in Liberkey) to extract the files from the setup file.
In the directory {app} there are the files to run PrettyRun as portable.

Hey texaveryfun, thanks for your post, you are right, UniExract is an easier option. Just edit the file "PrettyRun.ini", and add this:

[Options]
Portable=1

There you have PrettyRun portable.

Regards.

Nice app, and it is ready to be Liberkey'ed.
