SGenMenu Help
The StartGen 3.1 folder contains an "SGenMenu" icon which displays a popup menu for accessing your favorite links or loading the various StartGen modules. If you have installed IE4 or are using Windows 98, drag the SGenMenu icon to the miniature icon ("Quick Launch") area of your Windows taskbar. If these Quick Launch icons are not visible, rightclick on the taskbar and select the "QuickMenu" option from the "Toolbars" submenu. These miniature icons are located immediately to the right of the "Start" button. You can remove this SgenMenu icon from the "miniature icon area" at any time by right-clicking it and selecting "Delete". This will not affect the SGenMenu icon in your StartGen folder. You may also find it convenient to setup a Windows shortcut key for launching SGenMenu.

Opening Links in New Browser Instance
If you already have an instance of your browser loaded when you select a link from the popup menu, the link will be loaded in that instance. If you would rather have SGenMenu load the link in a new browser instance, do the following:

Adding Links to Your SGenMenu Popup List
You can add single-URL links, multiple-URL links and PowerSearch form links to your SGenMenu popup list. Simply edit the link and check the "Add to SGenMenu Popup" box at the bottom of the dialog. If the links don't appear after checking this box, read the next section on how to tell StartGen and SGenMenu which page contains the links you want added to the popup list.

Specifying your SGenMenu Page
SGenMenu needs to know which StartGen page contains the links you have designated as "SGenMenu links". This is set to the sample "My Start Page" by default. You can change this by loading StartGen and selecting "Options" from the "View" menu.

Selecting "All" from multi-url submenu
If you select "All" and only one URL is opened, it is because you have not told StartGen where your browser's EXE file is located as described above in the "Opening Links in New Browser Instance" section.

Menu Timer
The menu will disappear automatically if you don't make a selection withn 5 seconds.
