How to Enhance Context Menu of Windows Explorer?


If you still use Windows Explorer as your default files and folders manager, you may find this free utility extremely useful. Without changing your working style, you can add multiples additional useful options to the built-in capabilities.

FileMenu Tools allows you to customize the context menu of Windows Explorer. And it lets you:
  • Add some built-in utilities that perform operations on files and folders.
  • Add customized commands which run external applications, copy/move to a specific folder or delete specific file types.
  • Configure the "Send to..." submenu.
  • Enable/disable commands which are added by other applications to the context menu.
