'Define - Action Menu Items (Setup Wizard)' - Program Help start.
The Action menu is in four parts according to F-Key combinations that are available.
For convenience/ease of use, groups of applications can be defined on a group of F-keys with the same number.
This is the way that Action menus have been setup when you installed K-free. Use the Setup Wizard to do this again and change the final result.
E.g.
Define IE, Opera, Dreamweaver and Frontpage Express to use F12, Ctrl-F12, Shift-F12 and Shift-Ctrl-F12 respectively.
Define applications for viewing/changing pictures on F11 keys, etc.
The four parts are:
On the main action menu are Items 4-12 that are the external applications that can (mostly) be started using F-Keys without Shift/Ctl.
There are 3 other action submenus containing applications that will be started with Ctl+F-key, Shift+F-Key, Ctl+Shift+F-Key respectively.
This wizard is used to easily define a set of F keys by copying Windows / K-free associations.
The wizard consists of the following screens:
