Dr. Mac's OS X Tip-of-the-Day  

Dr. Mac's Freeware Friday - Make Menus More Meaningful !!

By Bob LeVitus

QuickAccessCM is a free utility that lets you access frequently used folders, documents and applications from the Contextual (Control-click) menu. It has three different modules:

  • "Quick Access" (for anything)
  • "Move To" (for folders you often move things into)
  • "Copy To" (for folders you often copy things into)

The modules can be turned on or off independently. If you move a lot of files around it's quite handy.

If you don't have another utility serving these needs, this one may be just what the doctor ordered. I've been using it all week and it's a good thing to have available when you need it.

Give it a try. Or, if you want to see it before downloading and installing, the author has created a QuickAccessCM Virtual Desktop:
