I'm currently working on a project to enhance the Run dialog, along with some nice extras; Codename OutRun. Current ideas planned for implementation (concept work already done):
Program Aliases:
e.g. Set "pspad" or "txt" to C:\Program Files\PSPad\PSPad.exe
Command Aliases:
e.g. Set "!shutdown" to shutdown (various methods of doing this), "!minall" to minimize all windows, etc.
Mini-Run:
Minimalistic run dialog, just the input box and Enter submits it.
Invisi-Run:
Hotkey, then type command, then Enter (or the hotkey again). Nothing appears.
(Note: all of the above is fully compatible with the default Run dialog)
The core part of the program, as well as the one that controls the plugins, will be in one compiled script. Any other features will be separate .exe's that will be run and handled by the core one. This "modular" system is for easy updating and feature additions.
If you have any ideas or would like to help, let me know. It's been going a little slow for me. |

| -_- Whatever boost in productivity my idea will bring will be negated by BoBo someway or another. |

damn cool !... but some other time! ...and BoBo (web-scanner-util-finder) if u know (or come to know) of some small cmd line util to convert word .doc (and pdfs & xls if possible but not needed rt. now) to .txt.. then do let me now plz.
i really like the name... and the concept. i'll definitely let u know if i can think of something worthwhile... and this reminds me of the script i was doing some time back... it was a kind of project, mostly done, to improve cmd prompt... easier cmds... easier folder travelling... folder history...and much other stuff.. but that script (because of i did something stupid) got overwritten... and i got so pissed, i abandoned it... damn!
anyways... good luck with OutRun! 
i've taken up something i'd been procrastinating for long... i'm converting to ahk the only thing worthwhile i'd written in au3... long ago. tray menu is one of the reasons to convert.

Maybe that fits: [AntiWord]
| Code: | Examples of use
===============
To get text output
------------------
(1) display a Word document in Latin1, one page at a time
antiword -m cp850.txt filename.doc | more
(2) save the text version of the Word document in Latin2, in a file
antiword -m cp852.txt filename.doc > filename.txt
(3) display a Word document in Hebrew, one page at a time
antiword -m cp862.txt filename.doc | more
(4) save the text version of the Word document in Russian Cyrillic, in a file
antiword -m cp866.txt filename.doc > filename.txt
To get PostScript output
------------------------
(1) save the PostScript version of the Word document in Latin1, in a file
generate PostScript for printing on European A4 size paper
antiword -p a4 -m 8859-1.txt filename.doc > filename.ps
(2) save the PostScipt version of the Word document in Latin2, in a file
generate PostScript for printing on American letter size paper
antiword -p letter -m 8859-2.txt filename.doc > filename.ps
NOTE: PostScript ouput is only supported for character sets Latin1 and Latin2.
NOTE: You need different mapping files for text and PostScript.
The order of the switches is not important to Antiword. If you specify two or
more settings of the same switch, Antiword will use the rightmost one. |

Seems tough! As Excel isn't often used outside an office environment it looks like none of them available for free  |

Nice util. And for the .xls/non-free thingy: OpenOffice, yo.  For all your cross-platform or low-budget needs. |

| Quote: | xlHtml converts an Excel spreadsheet file (.xls) into highly-optimized HTML. It includes scripts to allow it to be used as a Netscape or mutt plugin and as a xls handler for Apache. The program currently supports string, blank, boolean, error, integer, floating point, hyperlinks, and formula cells. It can also output in XML, tab delimited, or comma separated values (CSV).

@ Rajat & friends
I would be very happy if someone like you could have a look at Notepad2, exactly: Implement AHK's syntax highlighting/check within it. Notepad2 is scintilla based but/and has a fixed set of languages.
I never, ever have (re)compiled anything except AHK scripts. That's why I ask for your support 
IMHO I would keep AHK related languages (Configuration=INI, Default, WebSource=HTML, CSS, Batch, SQL Query) with N2, but remove the rest to make it leaner.
As a side effect (cause scintilla based) you/we could provide the source file/basis regarding AHK for other scintilas and a native AHK companion
Notepad2's source (which is GPL): http://www.flos-freeware.ch/zip/np2src.zip

actually while saying 'interesting to code' i meant something in ahk... but i hope u'll find someone who will do it...
though i use TextPad but there're many PSPad fans here and its free too... u can try that... though i agree, just 1 exe being complete editor is way too cool.
