menuApp

If your room is messy, chances are your computer desktop is twice as chaotic. This makes it difficult, and sometimes frustrating to quickly find an executable or even any other kind of files. Luckily, you can use specialized applications like menuApp to create neat menus for any folder for a more comfortable desktop experience.

The application doesn’t need to be installed in order to function, and can be used directly from a USB flash drive. In fact, this is a considerable advantage, because, given the right tweaks, you can have the drive’s content displayed in a context menu anywhere you’re currently located, through hotkeys.

You might have a little hard time trying to figure out how to make the application work, especially since running it oddly enough shows all files and folders from the folder you stored it in. However, this is how the application functions, and you need to spread it throughout your computer if you want to create multiple menus.

Customization options aren’t quite integrated in the application’s set of features, but it all depends on the source folder complexity and structure. In other words, the menu looks exactly like the source folder, letting you access files and subdirectories at the press of a button.

You need to place a copy of the executable file in every target folder. Sadly, Windows doesn’t let you access executables directly through hotkeys, but this option works with shortcuts. As such, you can take some time to create sets of EXEs and shortcuts with different hotkeys for each folder you want to quickly access.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that menuApp comes with good intentions, but it feels like the development process didn’t quite manage to fit everything in the set of features. It works just fine, but the amount of effort you need to invest and time it takes to create more menus can quickly make you look for alternatives.
