Windows-7-Start-Menu.jpgIs there a way to get  start menu program sub tasks to appear at FARR?
like the recent/frequnet on the image
It's more useful with other programs like chrome - show recent web pages and winscp - stored sessions

Yes, this is somewhat doable... at least I think. I'll see if I have time over the holidays to whip up something magical.

Zircle, I'm not 100% sure what you are asking, but your latest reply sounds intriguing!  Tell us what you have in mind (or email me directly, [email protected]).  Perhaps you are considering a FARR plugin/alias that could be a NANY 2016 release? https://www.donation...ndex.php?board=323.0

Turns out someone beat me to it 7 years ago. It has exactly the features you are looking for:

Thank you for taking the time and looking into it zircle, but MRU is not what I'm looking for.
MRU plugin just showing most recent files but I think it was created before windows 7 launched and before the "custom" start menu actions were out.
I'm looking for a way to show the Application specific "custom" actions.
I'll add some screenshots to illustrate.
