Menuprefs is a menu extra designed to give quick access to all preference panes that the user has access to, including custom preference panes. A custom menu of preference panes can also be built easily. You can also use it to hide the System Preferences icon in the Dock.
What's New
Version 2.6: Universal Binary
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
I love this little app. Unfortunately in Leopard it's broken. Can't customise at all and the 'category' option simply doesn't work. Hopefully there'll be an upgrade soon.
Realized I didn't rate this in my last comment, and as I like it, why not throw in my stars.
As discussed below, there are other apps that do the same thing for free, but none I tried work as well, as quickly, and as elegantly in their current versions. It's worth the $5. (Although I do think Apple should include this as part of the OS).
One of those little things I wasn't sure I needed, and then found I used a lot.
Sadly PrefsMenu has lost some functionality in Tiger, so most all the icons (all apple functions) are now generic. No big deal, but loses something both asthetically and in ease of use (my eye naturally goes to the icons before the words). So, for me the $5 is worth it.)

This app would be so perfect with this functionality.

If the developer is no longer supporting this application, it would be nice if some one else took over!
