Add Context Tools to Windows

Windows XP and previous versions such as Windows ME or Windows 98 lack some important context menu entries that make it easier to work with the operating system. If you want to copy files from one folder to another one you normally have to open two explorer windows to move the files. The XP Context Tools add many functions to the context menu to make such operations easier. The Copy to Folder menu entry would do the job in this case.

All versions of XP Context Tools add the following menu entries to the explorer context menu:

• Copy This Path
• Copy Dos Path
• New Folder Here
• Select All Items
• Move to Folder
• Copy To Folder
• Add Your Own

The last option makes it possible to add custom applications to the context menu. You may choose to add some or all of the context menu entries when choosing the custom setup option during installation.

If you download the Windows XP version you have the option to add more context menu entries to the my computer context menu. Those are the following: (as always it is up to you if you choose custom setup)

• Add / Remove Programs
• Control Panel
• Device Manager
• Disk Defragmenter
• Disk Management
• Msconfig
• Registry Editor
• Services
• Logoff
• Restart
• shutdown

XP Context Utilities is a great asset for everyone who misses one or more of the context menu entries that can be added by this freeware utility.
