Better File Management with Open++

Adding new entries to the Windows right-click context menu is no easy task if you only have the tools the Windows operating system is providing to you at your disposal. It is essential for a better file management to add entries to the shell context menu to access and manage files and folders easier and faster. Open++ is a lightweight software program for the Windows operating system that is adding one additional context menu entry to the right-click menu.

The application will display a configuration window after installation which is displaying the shell entries that have been added by the application. This includes copying the path, opening the command prompt, running files with parameters or opening notepad or paint.

Not all of the entries are needed though. It is possible to remove some entries from the context menu entry. New entries – called commands in the application – can be added as well. Every entry consists of a title, program name, arguments, directories and other variables that can be defined during creation. Entries can be moved around to change their position in the context menu.

It is for instance possible to add any executable file to the right-click context menu including specific launch parameters. Another interesting feature of Open++ is the ability to use short path and prompts for arguments when pressing keys on the keyboard at the same time.

The application is running as a rundll.exe process with about 3 Megabytes of computer memory usage after installation.
