Shell

SHELL might not really give any solid hints as to what its purpose is, but once you understand what it does, you'll probably find it very useful. This program, although a little difficult to set up for beginners, allows individuals to customize their right-click context menu in order for it to be as intuitive and full of features as one desires. Add color-coded content or simple shortcuts to various utilities or services. Edit the shell.shl file with any notepad app, customizing your desktop as you wish.

The whole idea behind this app is to allow users to bring apps and services one step closer. Making these more accessible ultimately means helping your productivity grow. Less time spent searching, and more time used for executing various tasks is always a good thing. In order for your right-click menu to look as desired, you'll have to deal with the shell.shl file, present in the app package. Using the Command line tool, input the codes in the instructions provided by the developer to activate the app. Finally, use a Notepad to open the .SHL file, and start editing the already existing entries.

With this particular app, you, as a user, can add custom shortcuts to folders, apps, or services in the right-click menu. Also, one can associate certain icons and color-code these for even easier access. Use separators to divide groups of apps and icons. Add an option with a sub-menu if there are more similar services one should have access to. Once you've configured it to your liking, things will definitely move much faster on your desktop.

SHELL, in one word, is an aid. It helps individuals of all ages organize access to content on any machine, making it easier to complete tasks in far less time expected.
