If you don't like that functionality (I don't) then it's not worth it - Because Launchy is developed specifically for this I feel that it does and easier and better job - I suspect that Launchy runs faster that G Desktop However, if you are using Google Desktop and if it works as you say it does, then you get the same functionality - which is awesome.

A commonly used tool, Google Desktop, appears to provide the same functionality: ctrl, ctrl to launch the Quick Search Box and .lnk files are included in the index lookup. Would be good to here if you find any reasons why one would be preferred over the other. Launchy seems good, and is also open source.
