start menu shortcuts

[dzags]

so i used pointui for a while and fell in love with programs/contacts being two clicks away. i drive alot so being able to easily access something without looking at it is a necessity. unfortunately pointui is still a little incomplete so i have gone back to tf3d. im trying having an action key for quick access to programs but i have seen pictures of a large start menu that has four icons at the top that appear to be customizable. anyone know what im talking about? ideal situation is i have an action key that is more customizable and lets me put the 9 programs i want one click away (not a slide away), and maybe my other softkey linked to icontact. is this possible? thanks in advance.
