About:

Launchy is a highly configurable, skinnable keystroke launcher. Think of it as auto-complete on steroids; it allows you to catalog applications on your system and launch them by typing in just a few characters. Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite using Qt and is very slick and fortunately easily made portable. After launching, press alt+space to use it.

InfraRecorder was originally posted by me a while ago, but T was kind enough to revisit it to get it up to snuff for official release, update the launcher and app, etc. It's a full featured CD and DVD burning app. From the dev test, there are a couple minor changes: official splash added, splash fade removed and time shortened.

It's natively portable, but there were some issues with the current dir (CafeMOD:() and settings. Turns out that I forgot to add SetOutPath before the ExecWait :P.
