Too ugly for me to keep using
FARR works as you'd expect but it was too ugly for me to keep using. There was something about it that I just didn't like and I stopped using it half-way through the day

Fixed Run Dialog

Fixed Run Dialog - v0.97ß - December 15, 2006

Program Description:
Fixed Run Dialog is a minimal enhancement to your Windows desktop. It will add a 'command box' that can be always on top or not. It acts just like the Run Dialog, which you would get by clicking 'Start > Run...'. Fixed Run Dialog can handle all commands that you normally enter in the Windows Run Dialog, plus more! You can define custom commands for your frequently used applications, documents, folders or websites. You can set the Fixed Run Dialog command box to be transparent (customizable level of transparency) to make it less obtrusive. The command box is quickly accessed by pressing a (customizable) global hotkey like CTRL+SHIFT+R or WIN+A for example. This application is aimed at people like me who don't like to use their mouse so much. The application is fully customizable to suit your personal needs.

Features:

Accepts all Windows commands
Accepts locations of folders to open them in Windows Explorer
Accepts website URLs to open with your default web browser
Accepts documents and launches the default application to open them
You can create new custom commands with a dialog or from the command box directly
Keeps track of your history of used commands
The command box can be dragged anywhere you like
The label under the command box can be hidden or the text customized
You can set the font, foreground- and background colors
You can resize the command box quickly by pressing CTRL + LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys
A readme.rtf and readme.txt file is included explaining all of the features in details
