Everyone is looking for a better way to launch programs in Windows. Most of these revolve around clicking little tiny icons in the Quick Launch bar or LiteStep. There are a few programs around to extend the Run dialog so that you can type a quick snippet to launch a program - but I've never been able to stick to that for more than a week at a time. You can also program extra buttons on your keyboard to launch programs - but I have far more programs than buttons, and every computer I use has a different keyboard.

My scheme involves using the existing Start menu - so it works without additional software - and simply organising the items so that each item can be accessed with a single keystroke.
