StartMenu9

StartMenu9 is a small software application whose purpose is to help you access various locations from your computer (e.g. Control Panel, My Computer, default web browser, Documents) with minimal effort. The tool lets you shut down or restart the system, or log off the current user.

The tool places a small floating button on your screen, which can be moved to any desktop area using the drag-and-drop support.

You can access the program’s features by performing a right-click mouse operation on the button or utility’s icon from the system tray. You can also make use of the talking assistant, which speaks aloud each function of the app.

StartMenu9 gives you the possibility to open up several locations from your computer, such as Music, Videos, Pictures, Control Panel, Documents, Downloads, My Computer, as well as your default web browser.

The tool helps you access various services via your default web browser, such as Google, Facebook, Flickr, Skype, Twitter, and YouTube, and open Notepad.

You can add data about your email address and password, specify details about contacts (e.g. name, address, phone number), as well as build up a list with your favorite websites.

The tool lets you customize the image displayed in the StartMenu9’s floating button by selecting from several preset photos or uploading a custom one from your computer, provided that the file format is JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIF, or ICO.

StartMenu9 lets you copy documents (e.g. TXT, RTF, PDF, CSV, DAT, XLS), images (e.g. BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIF), audio files (e.g. MP3, WAV, WMA, MID), and videos (e.g. AVI, MP4, MPG, 3GP) to your Documents, Pictures, Music, or Video folder by simply dragging the desired items onto the floating panel.

StartMenu9 proves to be a simple piece of software that allows you to quickly access several preset locations from your computer, store information about your email address and websites, as well as automate copying operations.
