Access Programs and Folders from the System Tray

SUMMARY: Microsys Launcher adds a customizable pop-up menu of apps and folders from the System Tray or via a keyboard shortcut.

Microsys Launcher allows you to make selected files and folders easily accessible from the System Tray area of the Windows taskbar via a pop-up menu. Or, you can bring up the menu from anywhere with the Ctrl + L keyboard shortcut (customizable).

Adding items is as simple as clicking the System Tray icon, selecting "Launcher Menu", then "Manage Items". From there you manually can add files, folders, menu separators, or menu folders. Or, drag-and-drop items from the Start Menu or Explorer.

Customizing items accessible via Microsys Launcher

Customization features include the interface language (such as German, Italian, or Russian) and menu display font.

While this application is freeware, a Pro version is available that adds features such as running applications maximized, setting application starting directories, and automatically running applications elevated as an administrator.

The software runs on Windows 95 and above, and may be downloaded at the following site:
