Active Tray

Active Tray enables you to take advantage of the real potential of the system tray area, turning it into a program launcher and a shortcut manager, so as to provide one-click access to frequently used folders and files.

Its main goal is to help you enhance productivity and workflow by using hotkeys to run applications, Windows programs and folders. It assists you in building cascading menus that host shortcuts to practically anything, from documents and folders to Internet URLs and simple tasks such as controlling the volume or shutting down the PC.

One neat feature of Active Tray is that it enables you to organize all the icons in the system tray exactly the way you want to. New menus and groups can be created to categorize similar items and their icons can be split by separators. Icons can be deleted, renamed, hidden or moved to another area using drag and drop.

Working with Active Tray is easy, thanks to its intuitive looks. Items that are included in the tray menus can be configured via a simple window, where all the shortcuts are displayed in tree view for easier navigation.

Aside from custom shortcuts to local files and folders, the menus created by Active Tray can also include system settings and specific Windows configuration windows, such as Control Panel sections (color management, date and time, Internet options etc.). This way, you can gain instant access to any Windows area.

Providing various customization possibilities to change the looks of the system tray icons, Active Tray is a versatile and efficient tool suitable for any user. Used wisely, it can significantly improve productivity, while keeping the working area uncluttered.
