Windows Tips: What's on the Menu? You Decide

Customize menus and accelerator keys; force Windows to exit or reboot.

Windows Toolbox: I've Got the World on a Menu

If you're happy with Windows 95 or 98 using Internet Explorer 4 or earlier, so be it. But you're missing the nifty ability to access your drives, folders, and other objects from a single cascading menu (see the November 1999 Windows Tips column).

To the rescue comes TrayExplorer, a $10 shareware utility that adds an icon to your taskbar tray (the area near the clock) with a cascading menu for accessing disk drives, Network Neighborhood, the Recycle Bin, Control Panel, Printers, and other folders (you can remove any cascading-menu item that you don't need). The program also features a customizable menu with your favorite links to folders, applications, Web sites, and documents. TrayExplorer is available from our Downloads library.

We pay $50 for published tips and questions. Scott Dunn is a contributing editor for PC World.
