SlickRun

March 14th, 2008

SlickRun is a floating command line tool for windows. It allows you to run custom command defined by yourself and built-in Windows commands. For example I can create a command that points to UltraVNC viewer executable and call it vnc. Now to connect to a remote computer I only have to call SlickRun, type “vnc computername” and I’m connected to the computer. The next time you have to connect to that same computer you just type in “vnc com” and if you have auto-complete enabled SlickRun will fill in the rest of the word for you.

You can use SlickRun to call and provide parameters to batch files or tools like RemCom and NirCmd to execute complex operations on remote computers using simple commands. The possibilities are almost infinite.
