    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: http://alternativeto.net/desktop/glary-utilities Add new context-menu entries you can only with http://alternativeto.net/desktop/fast-explorer/comments (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

For example: If you install WinZip on your computer, youll see a special WinZip menu when you right-click on a Zip file. This menu is created by adding a shell extension to the system.

The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable each
