Yes, you can point to any entry in the Start menu from the Main menu.
i have to shortcut for one outside program?In start menu and in new menu which i create in TCMD menu
Yes, you will then have two shortcuts (menu items) for the same program.

It is a bit confusing.

In the main menu you can only use commands that are defined in Totalcmd.inc in TC directory. So there is no straight way to run a program directly with an interal command.

To bypass this dilemma the cm_usermenux(x) commands are created (and also defined in totalcmd.inc). So if you add a command in the Starter Menu this is automatically assigds to a cm_usermenu -command. Thus you can use this command in Starter menu but you can also use it in the main menu or as Button in the Buttonbar.

When you decided to use cm_usermenu commands in the main menu it is recommended not to use the Starter menu further.

When you insert a new command in the starter menu (or a new submenu) it changes the order of commands and mixes up your main menu.

To prevent this you can use the setting in the wincmd.ini

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
RestrictInterface=1
(See Help section 4.b wincmd.ini)

Then the Start - menu of TC is no longer displayed.

As long as you only append new items to the END of the Start menu, there should be no problems, because the indices (numbers) of the previous items are not changed.

Of course that is true. But I managed it several times to append an item not to the END, because when you open the Change Startmenu Dialog box you are always at the first entry and the 'Add item' button creates the new entry after the current position.

I'm not that carful to always mark the last entry before adding a new one.

You'll have to create this entry by yourself. The explanation can be found in the above mentioned help section.

I can recommend you to download the Ultra TC Editors. The contained Config Editor allows you to manipulate all those ini settings comfortable from within a nice GUI. There are also tools to manipulate your Mainmenu and to maintain all your TC shortcuts. One advantage of the Config editor is that for each ini-entry ther is a little help text available (indeed it is the on from the TC-Help) and you can search for a certain setting or term.
