Shell is an open-source context menu manager and extender for Windows File Explorer that gives users fine-grained control over the right-click menus throughout the Windows shell experience. It lets you add, remove, modify, and organize context menu items beyond what the default Windows interfaces allow, enabling quick access to applications, scripts, favorite folders, URLs, and custom commands directly from the right-click menu on files, folders, the desktop, or even the taskbar. The project includes a rich expression syntax and built-in functions for dynamic menu behaviors, and supports icons, colors, and nested multi-column menus to make the context UI both powerful and user-friendly. Shell aims to be lightweight and portable while accommodating advanced usage patterns like filters, search, and custom templates so that workflows can be tailored to individual needs or project types.
