By Klaus Schwenk sOFTWARE
Create your own professional CD autostart menu using CDMenu. Launch your CDs professionally with the help of the Windows Autorun feature. Offer the users of your CDs an autoplay menu that is clear, that provides information about the CD and its contents and that presents all possible actions clearly. Using CDMenu you create your own individual menu interface without any programming knowledge. All registered file types and programs can be linked using the buttons. Moreover, CDMenu is smart. It launches corresponding programs to match all registered document types (HTML, DOC, TXT, PPT,...). CDMenu creates all files needed by Autostart (Autorun.inf). CDMenu sets your creativity free. With the help of background images and bitmap buttons, the menu designer has full control over the final appearance of the user interface. The Professional Editions also include integrated Sound and AVI Players, which make it possible for these files to be played without triggering the Windows media player. These Editions also feature frameless windows without title bars. The created menu requires no registry entries, runtime modules and DLLs of it''s own.

If a dock is the top of your desk, then Workshelf is all the drawers below it. NextSTART is the menu system - and takes care of all your task management needs as well. Menus are great for accessing infrequently used files and system related commands that aren''t easily reachable in the file system or that have no readily user-recognizable graphic representation. You can create as many menus as you want, and, with NextSTART hotspots, you can invoke each of these menus by a super fast screen edge/corner bump with the mouse pointer. The task management part of NextSTART allows you to efficiently organize and manipulate running tasks and windows. Using nothing but drag & drop, you can re-organize the items in your taskbar so that all your related documents are together (thus easier to find) and where you expect them to be, instead of where Windows decided to put them.
