Power Up Your Windows Context Menu with Shell Menu Tools
« on: December 05, 2008, 07:42:38 PM »
HERE

Once installed navigate to Start \ All Programs \ Moon Software \ Shell Tools so you can activate the various modules.  They are all disabled by default after installation.



The Copy Filename extension allows you to easily copy names of files to the clipboard, as mentioned above.



The Filenote extension opens up notepad allows you to make comments on a file, saved as ‘filename’.txt.



Another cool one is Show Hidden Files, which lets you toggle hidden files easily via the context menu, rather than going through the menus to try and toggle the setting. This comes in very handy when troubleshooting a nasty virus or spyware application.



The CopyURL extension lets you copy a URL, link, or name from Internet shortcuts.

Looks quite cool tho - some of those features are dead easy to do with standard shell and options.

Let us know how much you have used it an another week or three?!

Yep - filenote does sound handy but the filename copy is easy just by a slow double click on the name - away from icon and then CTRL+C ... achieves same sending that to clipboard.

slow double click on the name
Believe me, when I do this, 50% of the time it's not slow enough, and I just open the file....LOL
