2023-09-21 I like LaunchyQT and always use it, but on one system it refused to recognize both monitors and opened on the "wrong" one.
So I installed (portable) original Launchy and it works fine.
Original Launchy natively accepts path entries but you still want to check the .ini file for path accuracy.
Something like the following . . . note the backslash pattern. The \ patterns are different than on version QT.
I still like QT and will use it when it works.
Don't ignore the "utilities" folder and add your own favorite links and shortcuts.

Even though I use Symenu to download and upgrade portable apps, I prefer to launch them with Launchy.
For the first time on someone's PC I couldn't add a program path to the catalog.
LaunchyQT now can not add paths to catalog: to add paths go to launchy.ini

Since this is a Launchy post:
After years of using the default alt+space hotkey I'm changing to alt+z. I want to use the standard alt+space m to move windows with the arrow keys or mouse in a pinch.
Here is a directory portion for C: drive only.
Change the user and/or drive letter as needed.
