I want to make a program where you type in a keyword and it runs a program assosiated with that keyword. Like the Active Desktop address bar, only better.
If anyone wants to join in or has any ideas i want to hear from u.

Do you have any idea how to make it ?
I thought I could use ShellExecute to run the programs, and set up some kind of way of entering keywords to be assosiated with certain paths.
Then when the user types something and says OK, it would check what they had typed against a list of keywords, and run the right file.
For example, if you type 'Word' a list pops up with 'MS Word' and 'Word Pad', Then you select the right one from the list.
BOOM, it launches.
Something like that?
Miracle word!:D
That's the sort of thing I had in mind yeah.
Is Miracle word a name suggestion or something?
If anyone's got any ideas, let's be 'avin you.
It's Doak's reply to up his post.

Anyone want to do anything in particular?
Also, anymore ideas?
I need to put this on hold for a while, whilst I work on something else.
