With the growing necessity of hard drives in todays computer, it is vital to
have a easy to use, yet flexible hard disk menuing system. Menu Wizard is
easy to use, flexible and offers some extras not normally found in menu
system software, all for the inexpensive price of $15. There are many useful
features included with Menu Wizard. It offers full mouse support. It
supports graphic modes from monochrome to VGA.
The screen saver option is a real gem. The screen saver mode will start
automatically after five minutes on inactivity from the keyboard. You may
also choose to start the screen saver display manually by pressing the F1 key.
For security reasons you may also specify a keyboard lock with the screen
saver. With the keyboard lock on, everytime a key is pressed the user is
prompted for a password.
A four function pop-up calculator is also included. If you have the need to
use a calculator when you're at the menu screen, this is a great function. A
simulation of calculator tape is shown to help track your calculations.
Since Menu Wizard is very dependent on the files you create to specify the
menu selections, included are a few options to update or create menu
selections. Each menu selection displayed on the menu screen has its own
unique file. You can specify what titles you want to appear and if you would
like that menu option password protected. Without the built in editor
options, you would have to exit the screen each time you wanted to adjust a
menu selection.
You may also view files in either Text mode or Hex mode (useful for
programmers). You must know the name and directory of the file you wish to
view. You also have the option of viewing a calander, so you know what the
date and day of the week are at any given time. You can also bring up the
ASCII table to see the values of ASCII character available on the PC.
If you're looking for a good menu system and are constrained by your budget
then give Menu Wizard a try. Menu Wizard is a small and powerful harddrive
menuing system. It may not be as graphical as most commercial, but if you
value functionality over astetics then this program is excellent.
