Tooler

Windows allows you to take control of quite the variety of computer options. However, it can be a little difficult to manage the exact sections you need without any shortcuts. On the bright side of things, this is where specialized applications like Tooler come in handy, which can create shortcuts for a variety of functions.

A cool thing about it is that you don’t even go through a setup process to make the program work, so you can put it to good use as soon as download is done. This also means you can carry it around on a USB flash drive in case you want to create such shortcuts on other computers. Registry entries are not altered during the process, so neither is the stability of the target PC.

A pretty compact window shows up on launch, and it’s all you need to work with. There are a couple of drop-down menus to work with, and in some cases you also have to adjust particular options, depending on the action of choice. At the press of a button, the application creates a desktop shortcut with the selected choice.

In terms of location, the application can create a shortcut on the desktop, the Start Menu, or Programs Menu. Removal is easily done by deleting shortcuts you no longer need, and this doesn’t affect the stability of your computer.

As far as functions go, the application comes with a decent variety of computer actions to take. The drop-down menu reveals actions to set volume, shut down the PC, restart, turn off the monitor, toggle the state of the screensaver, eject the CD tray, or logoff.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Tooler is a handy little application you can use to create desktop shortcuts of functions you can often use, but take a lot of time to trigger. It comes in a lightweight package, and removing shortcuts is simply done through the default delete process.
