I'm using Launchy with Windows 7, but I've noticed that certain short cut's don't work with Launchy - the icon appears as the generic application icon and the application fails to start.

Clicking on the short cut directly (either on the start menu or in explorer) works fine.

This only happens on a couple of shortcuts - ones that I've noticed so far are Windbg and VirtualBox.

Any idea on what might be causing this and how to fix it?

I have the same problem, too. Filezilla and keepass don't work for me.

The last release for Launchy seems to date from 8/2008.
The website also says that Launchy was developed to run on XP.

Unless I'm missing the last release, it seems like it's time to find another program launcher, unless somebody takes over the development and bug-fixing (the list of bugs is apparently quite long at the moment).

I've had no issues with Executor.dk, and it's still in ~activish development. – Phoshi Dec 21 at 12:18
Interestingly the programs that can't be opened by launchy also cannot be launched by Executor. I have the programs installed on D drive but it attempts to locate them on C drives. – huggie Jan 14 at 7:04
You can always create a symbolic link on the C drive to the directory on the D drive, as an ugly workaround. – harrymc Jan 14 at 9:19
