PC-COM BASIC software

Found this program while in Downloads.com. I think its a must have.

PC Com Basic, is a small utility that sits on your taskbar as a command window. You press a hotkey to enable it or just click on the icon and type in your own code to open any program you have on your PC even websites. For instance if i want to load Subsims General page instead of browsing to there i just click on PC-COM or use the hotkey, type in my shortcut which i made as "Subg" for generals, (sub3 for silent hunter 3 ) etc., hit the enter key and the page comes up. Having this setup to launch games or Word might be silly when the icon is sitting right there on your desktop, but ive found it excellent for websites.

IE users can add websites to PC-COM easily, users of other browsers will have to copy the address into PC-COM for the first time to work.

You can do many other things with this ultility, create your own scripts/marcros, there is a 10 min tutorial after installation.
