Shell

Shell is legit! It's clean, modern, and minimal

Once you get familiar with how the nss files work and how to configure them, it's a very powerful tool and you can change the context menu of your Windows 10/11 system how you like. Good documentation on the website as well.

Nilesoft Shell is a game-changer for anyone who frequently works with the Windows File Explorer. This lightweight, yet powerful application offers a seamless way to extend and customize the right-click context menu, allowing users to perform tasks more efficiently and with fewer clicks. Whether you're a developer, a sysadmin, or just someone who wants more control over their workflow, Nilesoft Shell offers unparalleled flexibility.

One of the standout features is its intuitive interface, which makes it easy to add, remove, or modify context menu items without diving into the Windows Registry. You can create custom commands, scripts, or even batch operations directly from the menu, saving time and enhancing productivity. The application's support for a wide range of file types and commands means you can tailor your context menu to perfectly suit your needs.

Moreover, the ability to apply conditions to menu items ensures that your context menu remains uncluttered, only showing relevant options based on the file type, location, or other criteria. This level of customization is rarely seen in similar tools and makes Nilesoft Shell a standout choice.

In summary, Nilesoft Shell is a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their Windows experience. It combines power, flexibility, and ease of use in a way that few other applications can match, making it a top recommendation for power users and professionals alike.

Shell is great, free, open-source, and very customizable.

It's not intuitive or easy to use for the average user though. You have to learn quite a bit. There are many other click and play applications that do similar things.

I gained functions and lost functions in context depending on location clicked. For instance, seem to lose "Send To" functionality on desktop. Didn't do anything that I liked enough to keep, and required a reset of thinking as to where things were. Doesn't work in context menu while in a 3rd party explorer. What I suggest is that before you install, take some screenshots (win + "prnt screen" button, paste in Win Paint) and click a few items like desktop items, a file in explorer, etc, to be sure that you like the context options better after you install this program.

Gives a lot of customization potential, but requires some knowledge about how plain text configs work to actually do something interesting with it. Standard config is useful too, but apart of black theme and some on-fly setting changes has same features as one or two registry files you can find on internet to move some options from "Shift+right click" menu and add entry "take ownership"
