More and more I'm using Add Ons on a regular basis, and I don't feel like navigating through my folders to find it - but I don't use it often enough to create a shortcut.
I think there should be an Add Ons option in the Rainmeter Right Click dialog, right under Configs and Themes, and have it much like the Configs dialog, except instead of .ini's to choose from you can only see the .exe's. (Maybe eliminate the foldders completely from the menu and just have all the .exe's in the AddOns folder and subfolders shown.)

Re: Add Ons selection in right click menu
The problem is that many, if not most addons take parameters and / or are designed to be called from within skins. I don't think this is the right approach. Addons like RainBrowser and RainBackup are already in your Windows Start Menu, and most of the others are not appropriate for executing from the context menu.
I think you have to stop being lazy and create shortcuts as needed and put them in the Windows Start Menu under "Rainmeter".

Re: Add Ons selection in right click menu
Difference is, Windows XP Start Menu sucks while Windws 7's is really good. :P
That is a decent alternative though, I may just do that.
