My Tray Computer

Windows lets you tweak most of its behavior options, and there’s quite the variety of aesthetics, and functionality options to manage. There are also different third-party applications you can use to enhance the way you access these options. A suitable example is My Tray Computer which covers most areas you work with on a daily basis.

It comes in a lightweight package which can easily fit on a thumb drive in case you want to deploy it on other computers. The application directly minimizes to the tray area on launch. Unfortunately, you might want to wait a little while on first launch, because instructions come in the form of tooltips, which never seem to end, and there’s no way to disable them.

However, the initial introduction is a minor inconvenience, but just be sure not to double click on the tray icon, because the application closes. To access the dedicated launch panel, you need to interact with the right mouse button. This is the only method, because there’s no option to assign a hotkey.

The application provides quick access to an impressive variety of default operating system features, most of which come as expandable items. Among others, the press of a button can take you to favorite,s documents, network places, desktop, fixed drives, removable drives, as well as administrative tools, options and properties, and in-depth Windows operations like the Registry Editor, Task Manager, and more.

Moreover, there are a few folders for which you can customize content. It might be a little tricky to figure out at first, because hitting the “home” button takes you to the current user folder. However, you need to identify the “Tray Menu” folder in which you place all custom elements to appear in the corresponding tray menu items.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that My Tray Computer is sure to come in handy if you frequently need to handle various Windows parameters, or access documents and drives. Custom items can also be added, and even if there’s little customization involved, it’s sure to be worth your while.
