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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Hi Gianluca,

first: I'm very happy that you publish a new versi0on! SyMenu is still my favorit app-starter!!! It's really really great. 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?

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.
