see those little floating menus? Click on an Icon (actually a shortcut)
and the menus popup wherever you hold your mouse

this is a really cool application for W2K \ XP

Ive been using this for less than a week and Im totally dependent on it
its addictive and I havent even got past the basic usage yet. It will make you rethink how you interact with your data

(note the 0pen (Zero+pen) entry at the top of the main level folder\menu that is actually a normal shortcut to the folder itself, Im starting to add them into most main folders rather than opening a lower folder and navigating up a level, the zero places it at the top of the menu and I assigned it a different Icon but as a shortcut to a folder it gets grouped there and at the top)
