NuWinX

working on building a completely new WinX menu from AHK. what it can do now:



runs in tray
> right click menu shows above
> location can be set to Left or Center (to match where your start button layout is)
> if you change the taskbar from Left to Center layout or vice versa while script is running, use the Reload menu option to apply taskbar change.
> make it run at startup - when selected a second time it will remove it from startup
> you can edit the entries and add/remove any files (essentially you can use a .ps1 or .bat or .ahk to run anything you want that is not already a script or exe)



can add to group of choosing. after adding or removing, may need to Refresh List to update changes.

* right now it is triggered with Win+X keys

** still to come:
* Dark Mode
* Right Click Start Button to launch too
* Ability to reorder items in groups

left this project some time ago but decided to come back to it and improve it (drastically haha).

NuWinX on the left, Winaero editor on the right. Almost complete, just a few more cosmetic tweaks and i will re-release it. will be able to directly edit the config.ini for manual addition or removal of entries as well. i'm adding a rename function and the reorder/move to other group function as well (to closely mimic the old winaero winx editor).

A good Win+X menu editor is useful.

Apart from Winaero Win+X Menu Editor, Yamicsoft make a good Win+X menu editor, but it's not free. Yours should be handy when it's finished.

want to beta test it? i ran through it all semi-quick (my testing, not the code). i have added shell locations, system tools (some cname and some msc), the ability to add files / shortcuts, Folders or manually type a path/command to execute. you can now shift them between groups and rearrange the items in each group. i'd like some feedback on what else should be implemented (that majority of users would find useful).

still to come - direct editing of .ini for faster add/remove via bypassing gui (not hard to implement, just forgot today...
- will add more CNAME, URI, and CLSIDs to the lists
- right click start button to launch script menu too (right now its only win+x)

*as this generates it's own script menu and does not edit the real winx menu, there is no restart of explorer required.

added:

edit ini directly
indicator for winx menu alignment
