The
application is portable and free of charge, but the developer also
makes available a paid edition (Professional) that offers a larger
number of modules, for the price of $15.99/€12.86.
Since no
installation is necessary, launching the executable file immediately
shows the main application window, which is filled with several modules
organized in two sections: “Productivity Tools” and “Edit Right Click
Menu.”
Modules for the professional variant are available in
the interface, which may confuse some of the users. Also present is a
shortcut for a different program from the developer, Easy Disk Catalog
Maker (paid product). All these unnecessary items affect overall
usability of the program.
The first category features options
for customizing the right-click menu by adding pretty useful actions
that can be either carried out by tools included by the operating system
or available in the Right Click Enhancer package.
With Right
Click Tweaker, you can add to the context menu options to start copying
or moving the selected item to a folder of your choice and thus avoid
the copy/paste sequence. The list of choices is quite rich and also
includes the possibility to add “Open in Notepad” (not file sensitive)
or links to Control Panel, System Configuration Utility and God Mode.

The options do not stop at this as you can also pin the command to
create a file list with the items in a folder, take ownership of a file
or computer shutdown and restart actions.
All the tweaks available in this category are
applied swiftly and you get a message about successfully enabling or
disabling them. No system restart is required.
Quick access to
various locations (files and folders) on your computer can be achieved
through My Computer Manager section. All entries are displayed on the My
Computer screen of Windows Explorer, under “Other” locations.
Right Click Enhancer is perfectly capable to pin a shortcut to any file
or folder on the system in the Desktop context menu, with the Right
Click Shortcuts Creator. The operation is simple: choose to add a file
or a folder, browser for the desired item and select it. Just like in
other cases, there is the possibility to pick a different icon or change
the name of the entry.
Customization with the options in the
“Productivity Tools” category is easy enough for any user to grasp in a
short amount of time. Not the same can be said by the “Edit Right Click
Menu” module.
The “Right Click Editor” is a pretty powerful
instrument that can help you fully customize the context menu entries
sensitive to the selected item. This enables you to add new commands in
the context menu of various files, folders or drives.
We were
able to successfully add a new menu to folders, which gave us access to a
set of tools we used on a daily basis. However, we noticed that the
same menu would appear in the case of drives.
Still on the
downside, when we attempted to customize the context menu for partitions
the application failed to provide access to the commands and displayed
only the menu, which pointed to nothing in our case.
Power-users that rely on the keyboard for navigation won’t be able to
tap into the menus listed because the Enter key does not accomplish this
function. On the other hand, double-clicking on an entry gets you
access to the available commands.
Right Click Enhancer can be
used to modify the context menu in Internet Explorer, too. Entries are
context sensitive so they appear when right clicking on images, selected
text or web links.
The program does not exempt the “Send to”
menu in Windows Explorer, allowing you to add new locations (folders) to
copy the selected file to.

The Good
The application is portable, so no installation is required. It
provides documentation for every utility available. Beginner users can
work easily with most of the utilities.
All the utilities have
tooltips that explain the general purpose and you do not have to restart
the computer or Windows Explorer in order to apply the tweaks.
The Bad
We had some trouble creating a custom menu for the drives on the system
as the application would not include the commands. Also, the folder
menus would be displayed in the case of the drives as well.
Some of the utilities are not properly explained and, unless you do a
bit of trial and error yourself, you may not fully understand how to
work with them.
The Truth
Overall, Right Click Enhancer
is a pretty good application. There are plenty of glitches to
eliminate, but it can lead to impressive results when you learn the
ropes.
