TrayDir: access files, folders, and programs from the system tray (windows)

#1 Post by lintalist »

Not a huge tray fan myself, but no doubt many others are and for those not into making their own in AutoHotkey this offers a nice editor to build your menus:

TrayDir - An open-source Windows application that serves as a system tray utility for efficient access to files, folders, scripts, and other resources
You can run multiple instances e.g. multiple tray icons for different things you may wish to organise (work, games, etc)

Currently TrayDir is only tested on Windows 10, but also works on Windows 11.

Just a heads up: high virustotal score (19/63), https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/15e ... a07e75bc54
(this is why I haven't posted it in submissions, not that I think it is a virus, but the chances are quite high downloads will trigger an alert at the moment)

Website https://samver.ca/traydir
Source code & releases https://github.com/SamuelSVD/TrayDir

Application size: only 1.1mb (given the state of some modern launchers, refreshingly light)

Download the zip from https://github.com/SamuelSVD/TrayDir/releases/, unpack and run. Doesn't leave any traces as far as I can see.

There is also a TrayDir-Lite https://github.com/SamuelSVD/TrayDir-Lite (TrayDir without plugins, not tested)

Tray menu (green icon is work, blue icon is games so two instances):
