Last week we shared a Google Chrome extension with you that adds installed apps to your right-click context menu. It's a very welcome enhancement, since you normally need to hit Chrome's new tab page to launch a Chrome Web app. You know what would fit nicely right below apps in Chrome's right-click menu? Access to your bookmarks, of course! And as you can see in the screenshot, there's an ...

The command prompt here power toy was a feature that a lot of users requested be built-in to Windows 7. Microsoft listened, and added it to a secondary context menu. By holding shift and right-clicking a folder, you'll see additional commands not listed on the standard menu, such as open in new process, copy as path, and open command window here.

When you first load Windows onto a PC, you have a relatively clean right-click menu. Select a file or folder and right click with your mouse, and you have the option to copy, paste, delete, or do a few other actions.
