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
