The context menu that you get when you right click anything in Windows Explorer can be very useful. It gives you the ability to cut, copy and paste files and folders as well as quickly sending them to numerous locations among many other options. When you install new programs that integrate with the Windows shell, like WinZip, you'll find different options added to the context menu. Many of these are useful, but some are unwanted and get in the way. If you're not careful your context menus can balloon out of control.
FileMenu Tools gives you ultimate control over what does and doesn't appear in the right click context menus. You can banish any unwanted options by simply launching the configuration program and clearing the relevant boxes, but this utility's got more tricks up its sleeve than just yet. It offers a number of very useful additional tools that you can just as easily add to the menu to speed up the way you work.
For example, if you use the command line quite often, you'll know what a pain it is to change directory manually using the cd command. There's a lot of typing involved if you need to navigate to sub folders with long filenames and one spelling mistake can send you back to square one. Thankfully, FileMenu Tools includes an option called Command Line From Here. If you enable it, you just need to navigate to the folder that you want to use in Windows Explorer, right click and choose that option to open a command line prompt in this very directory.
If you want to be able to change the context menu options on the fly, make sure that you enable the Configure FileMenu Tools option. This gives you right click access to the configuration program, so you can quickly enable or disable different options.
If there's one simple change that you can make that will improve your computing experience it's taking control of your context menu. Stop putting up with the options offered by default. Use FileMenu Tools and get the menus you deserve.
