There might have been several approaches discussed everywhere, but none of them is up-to-date nor offers flexibility. So I started a new open source project and provided two PowerShell scripts to help.

There are other layouts (mini and flat at this moment).

Uninstall the menu items are also easy with uninstall.ps1.
