What is menuApp?
menuApp is an application which allows you to configure menus and use them to launch your favourite programs, music files, documents, websites, etc. It's fast, doesn't hog a lot of resource and is easy to setup and use (so long as you can handle a text editor). What's more, it doesn't drop any extraneous files on your system and it stays well clear of the registry.

Best alternative for 7stacks. Requires some attention to read the Help: http://www.desktopapps.co.uk/menuAppHelp_xml.php A lot of settings, you can do everything you need - hotkeys, menus on the taskbar, preload, many things. To speed up the loading of large menu lists, you can add a "MenuApp.exe" process to the antivirus exceptions. It's perfectly safe.
My PC has Windows 10. I downloaded the MenuApp .zip, unzipped, double-clicked on the "install" file, a command window opens that says: Run install script as admin... Waiting for install to complete... ...but the installation never completes or that command window never closes. The antivirus does not interfere because the MenuApp installation folder is as an exclusion. In "Program Files" 3 files have been created, in AppData the .xml file has been created, but when you run the MenuApp .exe a window opens that says: No config found for user: (my username). The CTRL+ALT+A keys don't open anything anywhere. Therefore, I can't comment because I was never able to use it. Am I doing something wrong or is the app not working?
I like it, custom hotkeys, preset locations, or custom directories to use as a launcher, different methods of opening them by choice. Very customizable.
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING !! I invested 3 days into trialing this program, and I have given up. if you want a challenge and have time on your hands ...
I am currently using an old edition ASuite v1.5.12 for past 11 years ... and it works. Launch files, folders, websites Never fails, stable and simple setup 3 machines Win-7 PRO x64

MenuApp is an extremely configurable launcher. The MenuApp configuration can be a great Windows toolbar. Here's an example:
!!! These are easily changed so don't spend too much time over thinking how to "get it right". "Right" changes over time as your usage changes.
Within ACCESS have several shortcuts to most used apps, files and folders. Also within ACCESS have folders: APPS, FILES, FOLDERS.
APPS has shortcuts to favorite apps. (I also created an apps subfolder tree by activity.)
FILES has shortcuts to favorite files. It also may have subfolders with shortcuts to files by content/use.
FOLDERS has shortcuts to most used folders. Most used folders mostly means folders with most used apps and files. (I call it NAVIGATION instead of FOLDERS.)
In the spirit of 2-5, you might want to put a few more folders in ACCESS. (I over do things and then cut back.)
After you have setup ACCESS, i.e. its initial version: A. Setup MenuApp so that the top level folder is ACCESS. B. Make ACCESS a Windows Toolbar on the Taskbar, so that very little is visible. Then when you click just beyond the toolbar, you get a flyout or cascading menu, just like in MenuApp.
