A portable menu launcher which is easy to use and intuitive.

SyMenu is a free and portable tool which provides you with quick access to different areas of your system directly from the system tray.

As a portable application, SyMenu does not require installation and may be run directly from a USB mass storage device such as a USB pen-drive, external HDD or a memory card.

The application is fully customizable and allows you to add and remove items from your SyMenu. Items added may be anywhere from system shortcuts to your currently available storage devices (hard drives, CDs, DVDs, etc.) to system settings to executable applications. For full customization, the application allows you to add separators and containers.

With support for hot keys and mouse gestures, you can have SyMenu launch applications quickly without having to access the application directly from the system tray.

In terms of system resource and footprint, SyMenu does not use very much memory or CPU and isn't even noticeable when run. Thanks to its low memory footprint, we recommend SyMenu as a tool which saves time and adds allows users to customize Windows to their exact preference.
