ABSTRACT:
A method for facilitating navigation among software applications and improved screen viewing in a Windows-based environment wherein a security based configurable primary menu is generated in a foreground of a display screen and an application is automatically spawned upon dropping of an object into a graphic element in the primary menu without resorting to additional initializations or spawning steps. Also, the security based configurable primary menu is automatically minimized and the corresponding running application windows are simultaneously removed from the viewing area in addition to the minimization of the primary menu.
