Express Menu

When working with numerous applications and multiple folders, the folder tree expands considerably and, sooner or later, the Start menu will become overcrowded with shortcuts to users’ favorite apps. Express Menu will help users save the shortcuts to their preferred applications, folders or even websites, stored in a quick-access floating menu that can be enabled by using hotkeys.

Express Menu will present users with a straightforward list interface that will contain all their favorite applications, folders or websites. When accessed, the menu will appear floating on whichever screen users find themselves at that moment, this way providing quick access.

Users are able to customize the list to their preferences and all they need to do is copy the shortcuts to their different apps and paste them in the Express Menu special folder. Express Menu will use those shortcuts and it will automatically load them in the items list.

After being configured, the menu can always be easily opened by pressing its designated key combination, this way users being able to have instantaneous access to the required features. For those who prefer, the menu can be enabled from the tray icon as well.

Although it provides users with good control over the shortcuts to their applications, the menu lacks any form of customization for its appearance, and some users might want to change its color, font, etc. To add to this, the menu cannot be moved on the screen, so it will always appear in the same spot and users who rely on its quick-access characteristic will not appreciate this.

Users whose Start menus are overcrowded with apps and folders might enjoy what this application has to offer. Express Menu will allow users to easily create a list of favorite programs, folders or even websites, and it will always maintain that list available for quick-access. However, although its principle is that of ease-of-use, Express Menu lacks any form of customization for its appearance, and doesn’t allow users to change its position on their screens.
