Open++ is a Windows context menu tweaker's dream
I've seen plenty of context menu enhancement apps before. Most of the free ones, however, offer a standard set of actions and only allow a few minor tweaks.
Open++ is another story. Virtually any command or file your computer knows how to execute can be set up as a right-click action using its customize window. Arguments are also supported, and can either be pre-configured or requested via a prompt. You can even pick an icon to display next to your entries.
Roll Open++ with NirCMD, for example, and you can embed functions like volume control, display resolution switching, and shutdown options. Create a few simple "move to" commands with Open++ to simplify hard drive organizing chores. If you're willing to invest some time and get creative, there's really no limit to what Open++ can do with your context menu.
The author's download page was inaccessible when I tried, but you can find the file on both Softpedia and Tucows. It's freeware for Windows only, but didn't work with Vista x64.

Only the Tucows download worked. The Softpedia just takes you in a three sided loop back to the beginning without executing a download. Good luck.

Why won't software programmers get with the times? Every single processor on sale these days is 64-bit and SOME of us actually want to use more than 3GiB of RAM so we use 64-bit OS's! I am sick of seeing programs that only work for 32-bit OS's!
