I've done something like this. My 'ISFE' application (our help desk, and general IT interface system) is an icon in the system tray. Right clicking gives you the menu available to you (and who you are determines what you see in the menu). There is an option to set a 'left click' item, which you can use to just normally click the icon, and bring up that particular process. However, if you want to do something like what Windows XP and Vista does, with giving priority to previously used programs, you could just start recording what items they click. Then have a count, with TOP X used to give the most recent 'frequently used' items. You could even add another table that allows the user to set his own favorites too, and have that TOP X query be a union query. This is all assuming you have a table driven menu, like a switchboard.
