MedalFolders is sort of like a simple favorites menu for Windows. The program adds an icon to your system tray. When you click on the little red folder icon with a white star, a menu with shortcuts to your favorite applications and files opens up.
You can add shortcuts by clicking the "Open MedalFolders" option and dragging and dropping items. The program will automatically decide whether the item is an application or something else. Everything that doesn't fall under the Applications heading gets sent off to live in the Files and Folders area. And each category is arranged alphabetically. There are no sorting options.
The program uses about 10 to 20MB of RAM, which isn't much if you have a fairly modern computer, but considering the limited functionality I would have expected MedalFolders to be a little lighter weight. Still, if you don't need a lot of bells and whistles, but just need a quick way to access a bunch of files, folders, and applications and don't feel like using the Windows Quick Start menu, the program might be worth checking out.
