target="_blank" title="mikes command line freeware" href="http://www.mlin.net/MCL.shtml">Mikes Command Line</a> is another one of them with 72K in size. The freeware opens a single line command bar when executed. You may then type the name of a program, e.g. notepad or calc and the program window of the program that you typed in opens. This by itself is mighty useful but wait until you hear this.</p><p>You are able to define macros in the tool itself, the author provides for example a macro for a google and wikipedia search on his website. After the macro is in place you can perform google searches by typing &#8220;g searchstring&#8221; in the command line tool. Macros can be added for other services as well of course. You can select that Mikes Command Line tool stays minimized in the system tray until you activate it by hot key or clicking it. The other options are always on top and a normal window behaviour.</p><p><span
id="more-700"></span>One final feature is that Mikes Command Line supports plugins, the author offers a plugin sdk on his website and some plugins that have already been created. You will be able to control winamp, log off, shut down and restart windows, empty the recycle bin or the recent documents folder, browse the file structure of your computer and extend the macro functionality to add automatic actions like clicks and keystrokes to it.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2006/08/10/mikes-command-line/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>5</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
