Speed Launch
Speed Launch was the first Grassroots Project from Office Labs. It was developed by Microsoft employees who wanted to explore ways to provide faster access to the stuff people use most. With Speed Launch, you can simply drag any file, document, or website URL into the Speed Launch bull’s eye on your desktop and tag it with any name you want. Then, any time you need it again, you can just go through the bull’s eye, type or click on the name, and there it is.

[Create Speed Launch shortcuts by dragging items into the bull’s eye.
The context menu on Speed Launch gives even more advanced functionality.
Get to the Speed Launch Launcher by hitting the ”Windows Key + C” or double clicking the bull’s-eye. The text field has auto-complete, so it’s very quick to get to shortcuts even with long names.
