EZMenu

Overview

EZMenu is an additional tool that is not located under Power Tools. EZMenu formats application windows to display and launch

software programs on the terminal. For example, the Power Tools Main Window (see page 1-1) is managed by EZMenu.

EZMenu consists of:

• Menu configuration files (i.e., EXM files that end in “*Menu.exm”). They contain the settings for application windows.

• The EZMenu.exe in the \Program Files\Power Tools folder. This applies the exm file settings in the terminal.

EZMenu.exe is launched during AutoInstall by default.

Running Easy Menu

EZMenu runs when you access an application window that has a menu configuration file. EZMenu.exe calls that menu configu-

ration file to format the window.
