Quick Pop Menu

Quick Pop Menu is a tool that facilitates a simple method for creating a menu with programs to quickly launch from the system tray area. It features intuitive options dedicated to users who want to improve their productivity when spending a lot of time working on the computer. It doesn't require installation.

You're greeted by a menu at startup that lets you configure general settings, such as adding a desktop and Windows startup shortcut, checking for software updates automatically at startup, and opening the shortcut folder after finishing with this step. Evidently, any of these options can be disabled.

The tool runs in the systray and reveals the menu with app shortcuts by double-clicking the tray icon or by triggering the Ctrl + middle mouse button combination. Windows Notepad and Command Prompt are included by default. However, you can remove them from the list and add new applications by creating and copying shortcuts to the Quick Pop Menu directory.

It's possible to change their order in the menu, close the tray icon without exiting the utility, modify the default hotkey and mouse button combination for showing the shortcuts menu, make associations with new file types for quick launch, increase the icon size, as well as disable systray notifications.

It worked smoothly in our tests, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or prompt error messages. It supports multiple UI languages and didn't put a strain on the machine's performance, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM.

Although it doesn't come packed with a particularly rich set of features, Quick Pop Menu offers a clean and approachable method for quickly launching various applications from the taskbar notifications area, and it can be handled with ease by anyone.
