PowerMenu in Windows 7
27Nov2009 Filed under: General Author: Akshay JainOk, I have been trying to figure out why PowerMenu wasnt working for me in Windows 7 for months now. One of my favourite applications. I can see it running perfectly fine in the system tray but the options of “transparency”, “always on top” and my favourite “Priority” werent coming at all when I right clicked any program.
Here is what comes normally in windows 7 when you right click a program:
As you can see, there are no PowerMenu options coming in this. Now, the trick is to press “SHIFT+Right CLick” whcih will bring the traditional options menu! Here are the results:
Viola and you are done! PowerMenu working with Windows 7!

I installed PowerMenu onto my Windows 7 64-bit system, but shift+right clicking does nothing for me.
By chance, are you using Windows 7 32-bit?

Yes. I am using Windows 32-bit. Does that Powermenu icon come in your taskbar?

It is in the taskbar. Shift-right click does bring up the traditional context menu, but no PowerMenu options. PowerMenu is probably incompatible with 64-bit.

It works on all programs, but not Windows Live Messenger. When I Shift+Right Click it opens Messenger. Help me please!

I think it only works on 32bit programs/windows, because I’m running Windows 7 x64 and it does work on the 32bit WMP12 but not on the 64bit version.

I can confirm it works well under Win7 64bit.
Thanks for the tip!

Excellent! I was missing it so much. Works for me on x64 except media player and I don’t use msn.

Note that you can also get that menu by hovering over a window, then when the aero peek window comes up, right clicking on the aero peek window, if you don’t want to use your keyboard.

confirmed, only works on 32-bit apps
I’ve posted a comment on the author’s site asking for a 64-bit version, hopefully he’ll update.
