Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 29/09/2011	Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 Hello to all. The new SyMenu version is out since yesterday. I post here this news beacuse there is one of the new feature that needs a clarification. The full list of the new features is this: Added links to Control Panel tools and commonly used Windows 7 programs in Search items bar New Turkish translation Customizable proxy settings manager to check for update Item Manager menu changes accordingly to currently selected SyItem New icon set Bug fix The feature that I want to explain in deep is the first one. With Windows 7 (and Windows Vista too, but I hope that no one use it anymore) Microsoft released a great number of new applet for our control panel. The process was becoming since the release of XP's SP2 but since W7 is not ignorable anymore. I chose a list of these new applets that I think could be useful to everything. The list is accessible through the SyMenu search bar as any other host programs. The applet names are the English ones. If I forget something very useful please let me know and I'll add it on the next release. Control panel applets recognize by SyMenu Accessibility Options - access.cpl Programs and Features - appwiz.cpl Bluetooth Devices - bthprops.cpl People Near Me - collab.cpl Color Management - color.cpl Display Properties - desk.cpl Windows Firewall Management Device Manager - hdwwiz.cpl Internet Options - inetcpl.cpl Regional and Language Settings - intl.cpl Infrared - irprops.cpl Game Controllers - joy.cpl Mouse (control mouse) - main.cpl Mail - mlcfg32.cpl mlcfg.cpl Microsoft System Configuration Utility - msconfig.cpl Sounds and Audio Devices - mmsys.cpl Modem - modem.cpl Network properties - netcpl.cpl Network Connections - ncpa.cpl User Accounts - nusrmgr.cpl Gateway Services for NetWare properties - nwc.cpl Data Sources (32-bit ODBC) - odbccp32.cpl Password - password.cpl Power Options - powercfg.cpl Speech - sapi.cpl Scanners and Cameras - sticpl.cpl System - sysdm.cpl Phone and Modem Options - telephon.cpl Desktop Themes - themes.cpl Date and Time - timedate.cpl Action Center - wscui.cpl Automatic Updates - wuaucpl.cpl These are some useful Windows programs that SyMenu search bar can find DirectX Diagnostic Tool - dxdiag.exe Microsoft Management console - mmc.exe Paint - mspaint.exe Notepad - notepad.exe Windows Features - optionalfeatures.exe Performance Monitor - perfmon.exe Registry Editor - regedit.exe Windows Task Manager - taskmgr.exe Write - write.exe About Windows - winver.exe

Good job - I love you on every use of SyMenu. :-) Now one question: I mentioned an ad at the bottom of the menu of that new version. Can you tell the user something about that? <em>edited by PoWi on 9/29/2011</em>

Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 29/09/2011	Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 Hello PoWi. The little banner you can see at the bottom of SyMenu contextual menu is a link to my new project. ghezee.com is a web site where I'm exploring a new way to intend classified ads. Instead to work on sale proposals ghezee works on contract proposals. In this way a person who intends to buy something can set the selling conditions and can choose his contractor (seller) basing his chose on price, reliability and quality. The big difference between other ads web site is that in ghezee, users don't have to search for what they want because the stuff they want search for them. I invite you to read the info pages to better understand how it works. http://www.ghezee.com/HowItWorks http://www.ghezee.com/Faq Gianluca

Coastie Posts: 26 06/10/2011	Coastie Posts: 26 I looked around the settings, is it possible to remove the ghezee ad from the menu? That is very annoying. I use Symenu for the simplistic display, and that ruins is.

PoWi Posts: 90 06/10/2011	PoWi Posts: 90 I found no option to remove the add. I agree with coastie - a starter menu should be a starter menu - simple and fast without any elements that make the menu "bigger". I switched back to 1.12

Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 06/10/2011	Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 I'm very sorry that you are so annoyed by the ad! No it is not possible to remove that because I thought to remove it from SyMenu in next version. So you can remains on 1.12 or wait for 1.14.

PoWi Posts: 90 06/10/2011	PoWi Posts: 90 Many many many thanks to you Gianluca!!!!!! SyMenu is the best starter menu I ever had! <em>edited by PoWi on 10/6/2011</em>

SyMan Posts: 7 02/12/2011	SyMan Posts: 7 Thanks Gianluca for keeping up the excellent work. Your new project looks pretty interesting. My best wishes for that. I agree with the others that the very clean approach of SyMenu shouldn't be destroyed by advertising in the menu. But it's your own software and many here are glad to use it for free. So why not link (and explain) your ghezee for instance next to the donate-button (and elsewhere in the config area)? And of course in your forum! All that wouldn't spoil the picture and I'm always interested in other products/services of people doing a good job! Best regards from Germany!

Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 02/12/2011	Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 Hello SyMan. Maybe you are a bit late. Yesterday I released the new version of SyMenu (1.14) and, as promised, I removed the ads from this new version.

SyMan Posts: 7 02/12/2011	SyMan Posts: 7 Okay, thanks a lot. But again, I don't mind if you add some links or information about your other projects. Only the main menu wasn't the best place to do that. Just my 2 cents.
