A fully configurable launcher, yet it remains invisible until activated with the mouse.
H-Menu is an interesting application launcher which remains invisible until activated with the mouse.

Have everything you need just a click away and say goodbye to the START button and a cluttered Desktop.

Animated Toolbars appear on contact with the screen's edge, up to
two per side.

H-Menu also supports the use of Cascading Menus and Multimedia capabilities.

Screen settings can be changed as you launch programs, or use the tray icon, where you can also access Menu-bars, Dial-Up connections, Sound controls, End Windows Session, Change Screen with a single click.

Customise H-Menu with animation effects and Separators to group items together.

The number of Buttons per Bar and their size can be configured and you can use your own bitmaps as backgrounds. 
Also you can create many sets of Buttonbars under different user names and groups, then navigate between them with links on each of the Buttonbar groups.

Try H-Menu and you will be surprised at the improvement it makes to using Windows.

The bars appear when you make mouse contact with any of the screen borders.

ADVANCED USER OPTIONS
1. H-Menu is now a configurable STARTUP MANAGER.


A folder called Startup is automatically created in your user folder, Me(H-Menu).

Place shortcuts to the programs that you wish H-Menu to launch at Startup in the folder.

For example SysTray.lnk & AdaptecDirectCD.lnk

Next assign the start order & delay [in seconds] until the next item is launched.

Do this by renaming the link with your requirements in brackets before the file name.

For example (01-02)SysTray.lnk and (02-00)AdaptecDirectCD.lnk

H-Menu will launch Systray first (01) and two seconds later (-02) the next item.

To enable H-Menu as StartUp Manager, alter it's shortcut in the Windows StartUp Folder.
