Although I am usually very wary of using memory hungry apps there are a few 'must haves' for me such as MS Voice Command. I have also installed SPB Menu 2.0 and it is beautiful to play with but my memory drops ridiclously with this app - sometimes up to 10mb and its memory usage seems to grow continually until I soft reset.
So I was wondering whether it was possible to mimic the on/off function of these apps with a button push?
With MSVC there is a tick box in the settings to enable/disable and recently I have been turning it off when not needed to improve memory but would love to find a way to map this function to a hardware button. I cant even find a reg value to turn it on/off so really dont know where to start.
I will almost certainly end up removing SPB Menu as I have done with previous versions but I do like the functionaity and love the look and feel so it would be cool to be able to find a way to put it to sleep with a button push too.
Any ideas? Or has this been done before and I just havent come across it?
At the moment I use memmaid for managing memory but its always a manual job!
