Comments and Reviews
Switched to Quick Access Popup from Listary as I only need a quick project folder navigator with middle-mouse button click. Pretty good interface and good customization. Four stars since I only started using and don't know how it performs long term.
The current reviews of this software are full of people with this as the only thing that they reviewed.
This one, obscure piece of software.
1-star for unethical practices by the developer/owner of the software.
Excellent !
Good job, @Jeanlalonde...
This APP helps me a lot with routine tasks on the computer.
Thanks !
This is the type of jump-to program you use when you have an ongoing need to get to certain folders. I was hoping to find a context menu program of this type, but others may like this tray area format.
Quick Access Popup (QAP) consistently helps boost my productivity, keep me on schedule, and reduce the time and hidden costs spent performing redundant tasks. Not a day goes by after logging into my PC that I don't use this indispensable tool. QAP enables me to efficiently navigate project folders, organize and access important client files and essential Windows programs, and automate workflows using built-in text snippet functionality and integrating AutoHotKey scripts. Since September 2014, I've been a dedicated fan, user, and supporter of QAP when it was first known as "Folders Popup." I especially appreciate the excellent support provided by Jean Lalonde, QAP's developer, which often exceeds that offered by my paid apps!
This is a brilliant piece of software! You just can't help making a donation to the author! It has no "Alternative To" ))
It is a wonderful piece of software. Pretty much needed for any clean freak. The ability to launch applications, favorites, commands, and functions, without the cluttered gui of a desktop full of icons, is amazing. 100% would recommend for all windows users period.
