 » File Extension Changer .NET 1.0
download web site opinions problem?
  File Extension Changer .NET integrates into the context menu of files and makes it simple to change file extensions. You can obviously do it manually in Windows but in that case either you have to enable the property of displaying file extensions which will make them always visible or use other techniques like Command Prompt and type it out manually. File Extension Changer .NET avoids both and provides an easy way to do it. Furthermore, it does not install any shell extensions for context menu integration instead it uses the registry. Thus your system resources are not used unnecessarily.

 » Shell Object Editor 3.2+
download web site opinions problem?
  This program is an editor for shell objects. You can create new shell objects and delete them when you don't need or want them any longer. For safety reasons, it is not possible to delete shell objects that were not created with this editor by default. You have to switch to "expert mode" to delete other shell objects. What is a shell object? - The "My Documents" folder is a shell object. It is a special shell object, a shell folder. Shell folders are not real folders on your hard disk, they only refer to real folders. They are a kind of "hard links", a special type of shortcuts.

 » ShellExView 1.4+
download web site opinions problem?
  The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions, installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable each shell extension. ShellExView can be used for solving context-menu problems in the Windows Explorer environment (Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers.) Shell Extensions are in-process COM objects which extend the abilities of the Windows operating system. Most shell extensions are automatically installed by the operating system, additional shell extensions are installed by applications (e.g. WinZip, PaintShopPro etc.) The ShellExView is a standalone executable. It doesn't require any installation process or additional DLLs. Just copy it to any folder you want, and run it. This program is also available in other languages, you will need to download the appropriate language zip file. A separate download for x64 systems is also available.
NOTE: All download links are at the bottom of the home page.

 » TortoiseSVN 1.5+
download web site opinions problem?
  TortoiseSVN is an Open Source, easy-to-use SCM / source control software for Microsoft Windows and maybe the best standalone Subversion client there is. It is implemented as a Windows shell extension, which makes it integrate seamlessly into the Windows explorer. Since it's not an integration for a specific IDE you can use it with whatever development tools you like. Another advantage of this shell integration is that not only web or software developers can use it but all the people who don't have the development tools installed, for example translators, doc writers, etc. NOTE:the download page points to installers for 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems. Please make sure that you choose the right installer for your PC. Otherwise the setup will fail.
