    Description

      I propose to include the Quick Access Menu (see attached screenshot) that is present in Windows since 8. It neatly organises several often-used configuration/management screens together and saves a lot of time.

      I have put together a proof of concept in AHK (tested on Windows 7 and ReactOS r70756) that should provide visually and functionally identical experience.

      What is missing is Win+X shortcut support in ROS and, of course, proper Win32 C implementation of this menu.
      Attaching a ZIP archive with the AHK script source and a 32-bit compile.

      Notes:

      • Mobility Center entry is disabled but implemented
      • Search entry is disabled and also not implemented
      • Sleep was not tested, may not work

      Taking inspiration from Win8 may not be a compatibility step towards Win2003, but all the stuff is already present in Win2003 and thus ReactOS anyway.
