MenuSnap - Windows 98 Start Menu

[Jonathan Cullifer]

I have used this product for over a year and a half, and I can safely say that it is the best product of its kind out there today. MenuSnap is a product written by Rietta Solutions and is designed for the users of Windows 98 who do not like their Start Menu items not being sorted alphabetically. Normally, when you install a program with this update, its program item is placed down at the bottom of the Start Menu. This can be annoying--having to drag it back up to its rightful position.

In walks MenuSnap. Any computer user can download the software, unzip it, and run it in less than 5 minutes' time, and have their Start Menu sorted. And if you are using Internet Explorer 5, you don't have to restart your computer for the changes to take effect, unlike many similiar utilities. Plus more, that I absolutely love.

To download it, Click Here. It's only 50k, so it sould not take more than 10 seconds at the most to download it.

So, what do you think?

If you are using Windows 98 and I.E 5.0 and above you already have the sorting capability. All you have to do is right click on any start menu item and then click Sort on Name and it will put everything in order.

True...but with this, you can sort it once and not osort it again for a while. The IE thing just rearranges it alphabetically. MenuSnap deletes the entire Registry key that holds this information, thus it stays longer. Also, it is configurable to run automatically via the Windows Task scheduler.
