Dubbed as the first 'Power Toy' for Windows Vista in our Vista Tips and Tricks series, Start++ incorporates into Windows Vista the 'Deskbar Shortcuts' functionality of XP's Windows Desktop Search tool, allowing you to create word- and character-combination aliases that you can use in the Start Search field of the Start++ menu.

For example, you could create an alias so that when you type y Dog Food in the Start Search field, your Web browser launches the Yahoo! search engine with search results displayed for the keyphrase 'dog food.' In the same way, Start++ makes it easy to launch programs, run scripts with parameters, and much more.
