The software offers a suite of 50 shell extensions with advanced features for the Windows context menu. Users can encrypt, shred, split, rename, change attributes, and more for files, folders, windows, and dialogs. Additionally, it includes a preview image function for enhanced usability.
The newest release, ShellToys 7, includes several new features such as Folder Color that allows you to customize folder colors for quick identification. Clock+ feature allows you to choose your very own date/time format for the taskbar clock, and there are also calendar, reminders, and alarms to help you stay organized.
Custom Menus is a handy feature that enables customization of Windows context menus to hide any unwanted items. Desktop Icons automatically restores desktop-icon positions, making life much easier by avoiding the pain of manually organizing your icons again when changing resolution. AutoType feature enables sending text clips or clipboard-history items straight into any window.
With ShellToys, you can right-click on a single file to encrypt, decrypt or shred it, change its extension, date, or attributes, copy its path to the clipboard, or select all files with matching extensions. In addition, image files display their dimensions, and a scaled preview on the menu, allowing you to click to see the complete-size picture or a slideshow.
Right-clicking on a folder allows you to view and access its contents on a submenu, print details of its contents, or copy them to the clipboard, open a command prompt, change its attributes, check the total size, and browse the images it contains. In addition, right-clicking on multiple files enables you to rename them or change their extensions, move them to a different folder, encrypt or shred them, copy their paths to the clipboard, change their creation or modification dates, or select all matching files in the folder.
Other features of ShellToys include Go To Folder, a feature that lets you jump instantly to a favorite folder in a current window or file dialog. You can also find and replace text in multiple files, save and restore desktop-icon positions, batch-convert images between formats, batch-convert audio files or rip CD tracks to WMA/MP3/OGG/WAV formats, create a new folder by pressing a hotkey, and many more.
Shell Toys lets you hide all the items you do not use, and you can easily re-enable them by merely checking the boxes with no restarts needed. Furthermore, this software also offers hotkey support, making it accessible to use their tools without needing to right-click!
With so many useful features available, it’s no wonder that ShellToys is one of the best utility software programs available in the market. Overall, it is an excellent addition to the Windows user experience and highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their desktop experience.
