Engage screws up my keyboard

Posted in Tools at 10:42 by Niklas

While on the subject of Start Menu replacement, I’d like to mention another tool called Engage.

It’s also a Start Menu replacement, but it managed to disable my logitech mouse and keyboard… After a while, I don’t know how long, I always experienced this after unlocking the computer, the keyboard didn’t produce any letters. After failing to use the keyboard I tried to use the mouse instead, but I couldn’t double click on anything anymore.

Really strange, happened several time, and the problem disappeared when I installed it.

Start menu replacement

Posted in Tools at 10:33 by Niklas

I don’t know why, but I regularly try different tools that promises a more efficient Start Menu in Windows XP:

I’ve installed SmartStartMenu a number of time on several computer and liked it, It’s not really a Start Menu replacement but it basically does the same thing as the replacements do: lets you search the entries in the start menu instead of browse, thereby saving time.

Then read about Vista Start Menu somewhere and thought it looked good. Maybe I was influenced by all the hype about the Start Menu in Vista. Everybody is talking about how great it is to be able to search the start menu (and how bad it is with all the shut down options). So I installed it had in my machine for a while.

Then I uninstalled it. And I have gotten rid of SmartStartMenu as well.

Turns out that I don’t use them, I took a long time to figure out. It seems that I don’t need any of them. I’ve always had a pretty long list of ‘most used programs’ in my regular start menu, and that seems to be enough. I also have one or two icons on my desktop for some things.

I now think this is a more common situation than I first anticipated, I like tool, to try them out, as well as make my own, but are they really needed? Well, as long as I have fun trying them out, it might not be necessary for them to same time? right?
