Sometimes, you may not find what you are looking for in the Start menu, either because you have performed a cleanup or because the program you need didn't create a Start menu entry. Radial Menu can make things much easier and more convenient. It acts like a Start menu, but it has a more elegant design and the best part is that it gives you full control to decide what goes into the menu. You can have your favorite applications, websites and even macros in an attractive menu that can be accessed at a moment's notice.

Radial Menu is offered completely free of charge and it can be used on various systems, from Windows XP to Windows 10. It comes in a small package and it can be installed quickly and easily. It doesn't require any special tools or services and it doesn't use too many resources.

As its name suggests, the application provides you with a radial menu, in which you can add shortcuts to your apps, websites and other items. It has to be said that Radial Menu's design is quite attractive. The application displays a dot on the screen, which reveals the actual menu, through a neat animation, when you click it. Icons are displayed in a circular pattern and, like in any menu, you only need to click them to launch their associated apps.

The menu is blank at first, except for an option that will take you to a series of configuration options. Among them you can find options for tweaking the application's behavior, changing its opacity level, creating groups, adding macros and, of course, adding basic items to the menu, like executables, URLs or folder paths. All you have to do is browse for an executable or paste a URL or path. The application will automatically add icons and fill in the description field. Additionally, if you have one or more groups created, you can add an item to one of these groups.

The menu can be moved to any location on the screen, so you can keep its button where you find it most comfortable. The options in the general settings menu allow you to decide when the menu should collapse automatically and you may also set up a hotkey, for opening and closing the menu. Additionally, you can customize its dimensions and choose between various themes, to make it fit in with your desktop's appearance.

Radial Menu gives you a quicker and more convenient access to your favorite applications, websites, folders and other items you use on a daily basis.

Pros

The radial menu has a modern and elegant design. You can add various items and organize them into different groups. The software provides you with a good amount of customization options.

Cons

There are no obvious issues to address.
