Right-click Extender for Windows 7 adds useful options to your context menu
The Windows right-click context menu is a tremendous time saver. When I introduce customers to it, they're typically amazed at how many tasks it can simplify.
Want to add even more useful features to your menu? There are loads of apps which can help (like Open++ and Moo0 Right Clicker), and The Windows Club's Right-Click Extender is a good, easy-to-use option.
It's not overloaded with tweaks but it includes some very handy file menu additions like Copy To and Move To (which let you zap files directly to a specific folder), Encrypt/Decrypt, and Take Ownership (very useful when moving files between user accounts). It can also tweak what happens when you right-click your desktop by adding shortcuts to Control Panel and Admin Tools, the much-talked-about 'God Mode,' and more.
Right Click Extender is a free download for Windows 7 and Vista and it's totally portable.

GREAT!! I was looking around for a good Windows 7 compatible option for adding the 'Admin command prompt' since Microsoft's 'Command Prompt Here' no longer works with Vista/XP and couldn't find a good alternative. Only thing I found was the built-in SHIFT-RIGHT-CLICK option in Windows 7 (and Vista I think) which is fairly inconvienent when you have to drop to Dos a decent bit (and being a System Admin I do).
This util works perfectly and the first time!
Thanks for this post!

@kojo87 and that trick is valid for so many context menus, you'll pull your hair out at all the new stuff you'll find.
Modifiers are great, CTRL, ALT and SHIFT are so unknown to most people yet they have so many "functions".
