it looks like it is a nice program. the only problem is that it is flashing too fast for us to see each screen for a few seconds.
that is cool they are giving away 5:)
good luck to all of us :!:

Hit the ESC key to stop animation. Then refresh the screen to see the animation again.

I bought Handymenu when it was first released and I consider it a must have program now. I assigned the fourth hardware button to Handymenu to access it from anywhere easily. I like its pricing as well. For such low price, I suppose Dinar has sold tons of them.

The only gripe I have is that the developer joined the hated group of cheaters that post their products as "updated" every single day, even though the product remains the same! :evil:

I just bought it and installed it. For $3 it is hard to go wrong. I like it. It seem slike with some tweeking it will be very good.

Hi Brad,
This is the second contest this week for giveaway software. I think this is Great! But I do have one comment. Mind you, its not a complaint, but an observation.

It was noted in a comment on the other contest thread of limiting such to subscribers, not to all registered. I agree with this for theses types of givaways.

For contests where one has to be creative to design a screen or write a poem, etc, open it to all registered to tap on all the more talent. But for a no-brainer drawing (the ones I like, as I have little talent for the others), I think the subscribers (with or without Logos :) should be rewarded, and this might also interest the unsubscribed registered to subscribe.
IMHO... Ron...

I just synced my toshiba and i had forgotten to install it in my laptop first. mmm, i dont feel like doing anything about it for now.

Subscriber issue....Iam not a subscriber and I cannot honeslty say that the free sofware would warrant me to become one. I checked into it seriously today because of a thread someone else asked about it, and some links to check it out. I like the site and may become a subcriber to help out, the rest of mycomments are on that thread because i want to :nonono:

I fully agree, I hate that.

About the product, I've been using HandyMenu almost since day 1 and I love it. It's fast, simple to use, very customizable and really ... handy 8) (not to mention really cheap)

I also like the fact that you can change/customize the tray icon :)

[rmasinag]

Loved this one from day one too! :D

I must have had it for 1/2 year now

one of those really cheap , good products

Have Handy Menu and Handy Launcher. Like them both, but wish you could keep the buttons on top without having to assign'em to a button.

The BUT WAIT! looked too much like one of those late night infomercials :)

Nice job guys, as usual :)

I really like Handy Menu, but I don't like Handy Launcher. TDLaunch is much better IMO, but I stopped using all those types of programs since they slow down resets too much. Handy Launcher was very slow all the time. I guess having 40 shortcuts on your today screen or in the bottom menu tends to do that. ;) Now I prefer to just set my most used apps in the start menu and deal with that. I don't often need to access the others in the program directory. Right now I'm too addicted to BrickSlider to notice much else with the exception of the new e805. I can't wait to try out everything on it. :mrgreen:

By the way, does having tons of shortcuts on SnoopSofts's Dashboard slow everything down after resets also? I've never used it. It seems like the only other good option, but if it slows things down as well I'm not interested.

Handy Launcher was very slow all the time. I guess having 40 shortcuts on your today screen or in the bottom menu tends to do that.

Are you sure It's HandyLauncher that's slow ?
TDlauncher is slow because it has to load all your settings and load the icons from every single program you have a shortcut for to display them during start-up.
HandyLauncher only installs an icon in the system-tray during the start-up, we load the settings and the icons only when you click on its icon for the first time.

We're glad you like HandyMenu :)
