Since purchasing this newer version (not the old free one), every time I run any batch tasks , cache cleaning or removal of temp files etc; I lose all bookmark icons and toolbar icons.Does not matter which version of main menu or which browser I use.I still have to navigate to every site and open it to get my bookmarks back.Did not have this problem with the last of the free version.Nothing positive from the supplier of program, been a few months now of this problem.

MainMenu 2.0.3 remains the best System Utility app.
Using it on a new MBP 15 2.66 with Snow 10.6.2 there are more options which gives you a better way to keep your Mac running quick & clean.
MM runs the Crons jobs on demand, cleans caches, repair permissions plus many other helpful ideas.
Every week after running MainMenu my Mac feels snappier.

MainMenu CommentaryWake Up Call to new Owners - Version: 2.0.3, 10/23/2009 01:05PM PST

Trying to be objective here. MainMenu was free for so long, when the then author could have been justified in charging a fee. Obviously the new owners purchased it to make a killing. However, by charging $20 they are in danger of killing it altogether. I would be willing to pay $10 based on shareware fee of othe utilities (some of which are STILL free). However, its unique in that its the only menu based application. The utility has changed very little after changing hands and therefore I would respectfully suggest that a touch of greed has entered in here. My oft quoted response is "Halve the price, triple the profit". At $20 I would suggest that all those (or nearly all) who enjoyed the free app are continuing to do so. A respectful wake up call to the new owners - revive the patient before it dies on you. There is a fine line between honest profit and outright greed - step back a little. Even try a special for a month at say$5 and guage the response from thee?
