I've decided to follow trends and go back to giving my projects codenames (BTW, don't get me started on the release name for the next version of Windows). The codename for my current C# project is Excalibur and it's basically a fully customisable system tray app.

If it's the first time you've used the app, a window will appear allowing you to choose which things will go into the context menu in the system tray. This could be such things as opening folders and starting applications. Once you've chosen what you want to have in the menu, these settings are stored in a text file in My Documents. It's in my documents because I find this will be a handy way of making this program profile specific if you have multiple users. This basically means that it's not just a case of 'one menu for all'.

Everytime the app loads up afterwards, these settings will be automatically loaded and the menu altered accordingly. The tasks in the menu will be mostly done through the creation and use of batch files. This isn't out of any particular necessity - it's just something I learned to do recently and I want to play with them a bit!

Of course, this menu is also editable, which means at any point you can remove tasks from the menu and insert new ones.

On second thoughts, making the program without batch files or touching the registry is possible, so I'll scrap the batch file part of it.
