Title: A start menu shortcut idea
Post by: supasye on October 25, 2012, 04:34:03 pm
Hi,

I don't know if anyone else has had this idea, and i haven't found it anywhere on the internet.

When you open the start menu you get a list of recently used apps on the left column. When you hover the mouse over one of the icons, certain apps when open a jump list on the right.. Sometimes it's recently opened files in that program,,, tasks.. etc..

I like to keep my desktop minimum. And I would like to make the task bar more efficient.
I would like it so that when you click the start menu, the left panel of icons can be, a folder of your choice.. For example, games, creative apps, maintenance.. And when you hover over the icons, the jumplist will show the apps in that folder.. So the creative apps folder will have photoshop, paint, illustrator etc..

I get the feeling (im not sure) that this cannot be done by using windows style builder.. The jumplists are from programs so I suspect its some kind of script in the program... I wonder if anyone has the ability to create a small app that lets you create these icons.. Or if one already exists.

Thanks in advance. I hope I made myself clear.
