## Summary
Restores the "Quick access" menu item that was accidentally removed from
the PowerToys tray icon context menu.
## Issue
Fixes #[issue_number]
The "Quick access" menu item was missing from the tray icon's
right-click context menu, preventing users from accessing this feature
via the tray menu.
**Expected menu:**
**Actual menu (before this fix):**
## Changes
- Added the missing `MENUITEM "Quick access\tLeft-click",
ID_QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_COMMAND` entry as the first menu item in the
`ID_TRAY_MENU` definition in `src/runner/runner.base.rc`
## Details
The menu item was accidentally removed in commit
f5797a065a. This PR restores it to its
correct position as the first item in the tray menu.
All supporting code was already in place:
- The resource ID `ID_QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_COMMAND` (40006) is defined in
`resource.base.h`
- The resource string `QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_TEXT` is defined in
`Resources.resx`
- The menu command handler in `tray_icon.cpp` opens the Quick Access
flyout window
- The localization code updates the menu text at runtime
## Testing
- ✅ Verified the menu item syntax is correct and matches existing
patterns
- ✅ Confirmed all supporting resource IDs and handler code exist
- ✅ CI build verification pending
After this fix, the tray menu will correctly display:
1. Quick access (Left-click)
2. Settings (Double-click)
3. Documentation
4. Report Bug
5. Close
