Comments and Reviews
Works well to edit the context menu. You can use it in conjunction with Shellmenuview, also by the same people.
Better Alternatives to ShellExView (particularly in German language) With ShellExview you unfortunately cannot add new context-menu entries, only deactivate existing entrys. The same limited function you have with Glary utilities: Add new context-menu entries you can only with (but not for Win7) Only for Windows 7 exists a convenient only german alternative to ShellExView, with which you also can add new context-menu entries: http://www.edv-fortress.de/blog/software-kontextemenu-creator/ For Vista see german instructions for manual registry change: http://www.wintotal.de/tipparchiv/?TID=847 or http://pcwelt-praxis.de/dokumentation/anleitungen/pcwshellextension-windows-shell-modding
