IDEA: middle click on desktop to get quick launch or 'start menu'

(1/6) > >>

xunil:
how about a utility to give the 'unix/linux' type feature of right clicking on the desktop to get an application menu (only use the middle click or ctl+right click)?

lanux128:
previously there was a tool that could do this. it was called Start Or Switch but i'm not sure whether it still works in newer OSes such as WinXP, 2K, etc.

looks like that project is dead.  could not download nor could i find it with google :(

jgpaiva:
For this job, i'd recomment something like bb4win, which is a shell that mimics linux's fluxbox. If there's a way to do it without having to change the shell, it'd be preferable, though.

xunil:
actually, i used to use bblean and this is the only feature i miss... but i have no desire to run an alternative shell just to get a handy launching feature.  i guess i will have to keep making the long trek to the bottom of my screen to launch an application (which is really annoying w/ dual monitors).
