In depth
A closer look at ShortPopUp
This application allows you to remove some of the icons from the taskbar, or the desktop. This utility is useful if you are running out of space on youre taskbar and if you wanna see all the tasks that are actually running. When ShortPopUp is run, it scans it's starting directory for all files, and then displays those in a popup menu. Once you select a menu item, it will execute it. It's that simple. If it comes across a filename that ends in '.pif', '.lnk' or '.url', it will remove the '.pif', '.lnk' or '.url' so the menu looks a little bit neater. You can now also specifiy via the command line, which extensions to remove too.
