Nilesoft Shell is a free, open-source context menu manager for Windows File Explorer written in C++. It lets users add custom items, modify or remove existing context menu entries, and fully customize appearance via a plain-text configuration file with an expression syntax.

Use cases

customize the Windows right-click context menu
add custom commands to launch apps, files, or folders from the context menu
remove or hide context menu items added by third-party software
create nested multi-level context menus with icons and colors
add terminal or file management shortcuts to the File Explorer menu
customize the taskbar and desktop context menus

When to choose

you want full control over the Windows File Explorer context menu
you need a lightweight, portable tool with plain-text configuration
you want to add custom menu items with icons, SVGs, or colors
you want to clean up cluttered context menus from other software

When to avoid

you need a cross-platform solution (Windows only)
you prefer GUI-based configuration over editing a text config file
you only need simple context menu tweaks available in Windows settings
