If you want to create your own Context Menu commands for Windows Explorer this certainly does the job. It could be easier to use but I haven’t come across another freeware tool that does the job. For simple commands it is easy to use and this is probably all that most people will need. More complex requirements can be met by other means such as macro recorders or AutoHotkey utilities.

 

Personally I rate this as:

Useful – Could be easier to use – Could be much better with a little work

What Could Make it be Better?

  1. More detailed help for complex commands
  2. Drag/Drop in GUI
  3. Editing of existing menus/COM objects
