Install

Requirements

  • OS Windows XP SP3 and later. Supports x86 and x64 systems.
  • .NET Framework 4.0

Files

  • SmartSystemMenu.exe
  • SmartSystemMenu64.exe (located in resources of SmartSystemMenu.exe module)
  • SmartSystemMenuHook.dll
  • SmartSystemMenuHook64.dll
  • SmartSystemMenu.xml
  • Language.xml

This program has SmartSystemMenu.exe and SmartSystemMenuHook.dll modules for x86 processes, SmartSystemMenu64.exe and SmartSystemMenuHook64.dll modules for x64 processes. When you run SmartSystemMenu.exe, it also runs SmartSystemMenu64.exe. These two executable modules load hooks (SmartSystemMenuHook.dll and SmartSystemMenuHook64.dll) to all processes. When you select an item in the system menu, the hook sends a message to the executable module. After that, the module performs the selected action: changes the transparency of the window, changes the size of the window, etc.

Tips

Run SmartSystemMenu.exe process. If your OS has enabled UAC, the system will display a UAC dialog. You do not need to worry because the program needs elevated privileges. After the program has been executed, in all system menus of all windows you can see custom items.
