PC-Com is a small application that gives you an easier and faster alternative to use your computer. Instead of searching for programs in your Start Menu, or browsing through your Favorites to get to a certain web page, you can quickly load anything on your computer or the internet from PC-Com. This program is a command-line toolbar that lets you open files, folders, and websites by typing keywords. When you want to open something, all you have to do is press a hotkey on your keyboard to activate PC-Com, type a keyword, and press Enter. For example, typing outlook as a keyword will open Microsoft Outlook; typing word as a keyword will open Microsoft Word; typing yahoo.com will open http://www.yahoo.com. As you can see in the picture above, you can just type the first few letters of a keyword and still access it by pressing enter. There are more shortcuts to PC-Com than just keywords. You can open websites (typing google.com will take you to http://www.google.com), and you can open files and folders (example: c:\program files). You can also use letter commands to search the internet (example: s:mp3s), look up a word in a dictionary or a thesaurus, find related web sites, and shut down or restart your computer.

PC-Com is only visible when you press a hotkey and type a keyword. The toolbar disappears after you press Enter. This provides even more convenience and work space for you.

Macro Recorder

In addition to opening anything, PC-Com lets you record macros (a combination of mouse clicks and keystrokes), and you can play back macros later by typing the macro name into the toolbar. This lets you automate your repetitive computer tasks just by pressing a few keys on your keyboard. Click here for more information about the Macro Recorder.

Change window display settings with Functions

In addition to doing everything for you, PC-Com contains a new feature called functions. With functions, you can change the display settings of a window/program. Functions include make window translucent (partially transparent), hide/show window, close window, set window on top, create hotkey, change text, copy window text, minimize window.
To use a function, just hover the mouse pointer over the window that you want to change. Then type the function name into PC-Com.

These shortcuts are just a brief summary of PC-Com. They give the general idea of the program, but if you want to find out everything that PC-Com can do, click the link below.

The long list of PC-Com shortcuts. 

The Command List

When you install PC-Com, it will scan your desktop and Start Menu for commonly used programs. It will set up between 100 and 200 keywords for you during this process. This way, instead of wasting time searching for programs in your Start Menu, you can open any program and access any shortcut by pressing the hotkey, typing the program's name, and pressing Enter.

PC-Com is just a computer program, so it will not be able to add keywords for everything that you use on your computer. You will still have to manually add keywords to folders that you often use or websites that you visit. But don't worry, this process is just as easy.

You can make keywords to files easily by right-clicking an icon and clicking Add keyword to PC-Com. PC-Com will get the path of the file for you, so all you have to do is type a name for the keyword.

Making keywords to web sites is just as easy. When you are looking at a web site on your browser, just type add as keyword in PC-Com. PC-Com will automatically get the URL of the site for you.

PC-Com accepts more shortcuts than just keywords. You can type the URL of any website, and PC-Com will take you to it. Examples: google.com, www.ebay.com. You can also type the location of files or folders, such as c:\windows, c:\program files, etc.

Letter Commands

Another useful feature in PC-Com is letter commands. Letter commands let you quickly search for items on a website. There are eight preset commands in PC-Com, including look up a word in a dictionary (Dictionary.com), Thesaurus.com, Google Web Search, Google Image Search, Wikipedia Search, Download.com program search, eBay search, and a Send Mail shortcut.
