Press right-click inside windows and you open up a typical context menu which looks something like this…
Install Lopesoft.com’s FileMenuTools (free or course) and your menu will look something like this…
More than just shortcuts, this neat piece of freeware has some really powerful functions built in. Here are a few of my favourite features:
- Advanced file renaming – allows you to bulk rename files, add file sequencing, append text to filenames
- Advanced file deleting – where you get to quickly filter and delete files which match a certain naming criteria
- Synchronize folders – to ensure that two directories are in constant sync
- Enhanced visualization of size of folders – where on top of the size of the folder you get a quick chart showing you how your space is allocated
- Shred files – delete your confidential files permanently and make them irretrievable
…and the list goes on an on. Give it a try and your right mouse button will never feel the same again :)
What other mouse tips do you have? Let us know in the comments!
Till now , I was using registry hacks to accomplish some of these features but this tool seems to integrate all of them and many more other features. I will give it a try.
Do you believe that i never use mouse more than one year?Har! I use my laptop pad all the time.
All well and good, until you hit a Flash page.
I would like to do a google search by rightclicking on a piece of text anywhere in windows (also from excel) and do a google (or yahoo or …) search on the selected text like the mozila plugin (that only works in firefox).
All I ever wanted to do was run one of my million macros (that I have to relegate to a menu button) or have PasteText, or PastFormula, come up on the right mouse button. I can’t believe that MS doesn’t have their own easy way to customize the right mouse button. I’m going to try ytour software right now. I’ll be back with my opinnion!!

@Stragger – yeah macros are the only way to go at this point…
