AutoRun LWMenu Description
AutoRun LWMenu is a small, portable application that can be used to create personalized menus controlled by autorun.inf files. Additionally, it is capable of deleting files left behind by applications that require no installation but are not fully portable.
Create custom menus for discs and other uses
Since this program relies on autorun.inf files to define the properties of the menus, you can use it to create personalized autorun menus for your discs. However, starting with Windows 7, these cannot be launched via Autorun when stored on USB drives.
Of course, you can also use AutoRun LWMenu as a desktop-based launcher, as it is quite versatile. It enables you to create quick shortcuts to programs, folders and websites, as well as set up any number of submenus.
Use autorun.inf files to create and configure as many menus as you like
When you launch the application for the first time, you will see that a few sample buttons have already been created. These can be customized by editing the autorun.inf file, and you can also remove them or create new ones.
AutoRun LWMenu offers support for OS shortcuts, working folders, relative folders and environment variables, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to configure buttons. The menu can even be reloaded after it is updated without having to be relaunched.
It might have helped if more detailed documentation was available, however, as users who are not familiar with these types of commands may find it difficult to get started.
Ensure semi-portable apps don’t leave any traces behind
This utility enables you to launch applications that don’t require installation but still create registry entries or temporary files, which are not deleted automatically.
AutoRun LWMenu isn’t a complete portabilizer, however, as it cannot save registry entries or configuration files and restore them when an application is launched again.
All in all, this is a useful program for those who wish to design personalized menus using autorun.inf files. It is not terribly difficult to use, although some documentation would certainly help, and it offers some interesting features.
