Migration

13 September, 2007

Migration from version 1.0 alpha

To migrate from Menu Inventor 1.0 alpha, use the Migrator.exe tool which is included in the standard installation pack since version 1.1. Note that the older version of this tool called MIF2MXF.exe is now obsolete and its use is strongly discouraged.

Migration from Windows Start

Currently, there is no explicit tool that will allow you to "copy" the structure of your current Windows Start menu straight to Menu Inventor. However, you can use the Add from folder.. (BatchAdd) method inside Menu Inventor, accessible via right-click on the pane. Select your Windows Start Menu folder, which will typically be located in:

under Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and 2003
C:\Documents And Settings\[your_username]\Start Menu    and
C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\Start Menu
under Windows 95, 98 and Me
C:\Windows\Start Menu    or
C:\Windows\Profiles\[your_username]\Start Menu
under Windows Vista
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu    and
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

Menu Inventor: Skins

9 September, 2007

Menu Inventor is now capable of changing skins. Look in the Showcase section to see the screenshots, then download the one you want or wait for the Skinning Guide to teach yourself how to create a skin! If you are bold enough, try editing an existing skin on your own - it is not at all difficult!

Installing a skin
Firstly make sure that you got Menu Inventor 1.1 installed (a dumb remark, I know). Download a skin and then unzip its contents into the same folder as you installed Menu Inventor. Do NOT put it into a separate folder, Menu Inventor won't be able to load the skin. Change the skin from the Extended Trigger.
