Like others here, I use various methods for opening programs in Windows, 
depending on what I'm doing, how I'm feeling, and which direction the 
planets are aligned in.


I still tend to use hotkeys for desktop programs I work with frequently, 
like Word, Thunderbird, and Firefox, and of course, metro apps, like 
KNFB Reader, can't be sent to the desktop, so I tend to open them by 
using the start/search box.
