launching apps in windoze

i hate using the mouse and excessive usage hurts my writs too :( . i used launchy to launch apps in windows.
refer to my article here !

i also need to check certain partitions very often and although one can make launchy do that but why not use windoze's native ways. in this case the Run Box.

i need to access the E:\ drive quite often so i did the following

1) go to c:\windows
2) create a new short cut to the e drive and i call it ``e"
3) u r done..now just hit Windows+r then e and hit enter :D

thats neat i would say !

i could do that without creating the shortcut but i don't want to write ``:" everytime.
