quick menu

Explanation:
Could it be quick menu?

I think it depends on the context and what the menu actually does.

What is Quick Menu?

Quick Menu is a free, skinnable, small and easy-to-use launch menu for quick and easy access to the applications you use most often. It sits quietly in the background, waiting for you to activate it by pressing the hotkeys. Upon activation Quick Menu pops up where the mouse cursor happens to be.

Why use Quick Menu?

There are hundreds of launch menu applications out there, why would you want to use Quick Menu? Well, it all comes down to your taste and what you need, I guess, but some things I like about Quick Menu are: • It's easy to use and configure
• It's small and fast
• It's invisible when you don't use it
• When it is visible, it looks nice (skinnable)
• It's free

context menu

Explanation:
see internet reference:

A context menu is the menu that pops up when you right-click on a file or object in Windows. What we want to do is extend that menu and add some items of our own. This article shows how to build a COM object that will allow us to add menu items to the context menu that pops up when you right-click on a file with a .cpp extension. You can easily change it to work with any type of extension or any type of Windows object.

shortcut menu

Explanation:
Willemina,

I know you've already chosen an answer, but I'd like to offer you yet another solution.
Microft calls this type of menu a shortcut menu.

Typo: Microft should be Microsoft, of course.
