The Good
* You can create a menu from scratch or use a template (comes with 19 templates).
* Menus are fully customizable:
o You can have multiple "pages" for each menu.
o You can have unlimited buttons for each page.
o Each button can be set to do multiple tasks when clicked.
o You can add a written description for each button.
o Multiple different mouse-over effects available for buttons.
o You can insert RTF or HTML files into your menu.
o ...and more.
* Has a useful "layer" (think Photoshop) system.
* You can preview your menu before you publish it.

The Bad
* Interface organization and presentation makes the program look a lot more complicated than it actually is.
* Only "business license" users are allowed to remove the Autoplay Menu Designer watermark-like splash screen (we get "personal license" from GOTD).
* "Home Edition" (the one we are getting from GOTD) is limited to 10 pages per menu.

Hurrah for Ashraf's reviews...always saves me a lot of time. In this case, instead of the publisher using GOTD to get loyal users who spread the word of the software, the publisher is just trying to get adverts onto people's CDs.... no thanks GOTD. Please encourage publishers to just use GOTD to make their software popular with the GOTD users....we then recommend the good stuff to people who buy it. I've bought three pieces of software (for other users) on here that I already got for free.

I agree with #1 Ashraf regarding the really unpleasant advertising "Splash screen" that will show up for the persons receiving a CD. Because of this, I will not use Autoplay Menu Designer.

splash screen is cheesy and annoying... but if you make a copy of lesson 1 or lesson 2 folders you can delete their content and start from scratch and produce your own menus without the splash screen. Only trial version should include enforced product advertising in the built project, not registered editions IMHO.

Check out Ashraf's suggested alternative. He has complete directions on how to use Compact Autorunner. I also like the program better. A big thanks from me for the suggestion.
