PowerShell XP

PowerShell XP is a very simple tool that adds new items to the Windows Context Menu and thus lets you browse certain locations a lot faster.

Exclusively addressed to Windows XP users, PowerShell XP comes to modify six different areas of the right-click menu, adding new options and allowing users to launch new apps or reach specific locations on the hard-disk a bit easier.

After installing the app, right-clicking the My Computer icon also displays a bunch of new options, such as “Calculator”, “Clean Drive”, “Control Panel”, “Edit Registry”, “Log Off”, “Reboot”, “System Restore” or “DOS Prompt”.

On the other hand, if you right click a drive icon in My Computer, PowerShell XP gives you three new entries, namely “Clean Drive”, “Defrag This Drive” and “DOS Prompt”.

A simple right click on a folder icon however has been enhanced with many more options, such as “Copy to” and “Move to” folder and “Backup this folder”. Of course, you can also right click a file and “Move to” or “Copy to” folder while highlighting and right-clicking a word on a webpage lets you search dictionary, newsgroups or the web.

Last but not least, the “New” option now includes HTML documents and registration entries.

Installing and removing PowerShell XP is pretty easy, but it's highly recommended to make a backup before anything else, just to make sure you're on the safe side.

All things considered, PowerShell XP is a handy piece of software that enhances the Windows Context Menu and adds a bunch of entries that definitely help a lot of users out there.
