For decades now, this contextual menu has always been one of the primary ways millions of PC users have controlled the various functions of their desktop work, from controlling the look and sorting of the icons, managing copy/paste clipboard functions, and accessing tool picker for creating new blank files in a wide variety of OS and installed apps.

However, with the help of the Easy Context Menu app users can fully customize their right-click menu and enhance their productivity, add useful shortcuts, and much more.

Easy Context Menu is distributed online as a portable application, which means that it does not have an automated installer and is instead downloaded as a bare EXE file that can be placed either on local PC storage or the external USB stick.

The app is lightweight, fast, and can be fully configured using its intuitive dashboard that features in-depth controls for managing several major types of context menus - Desktop Context Menu, My Computer Context Menu, Drives Context Menu, Folder Context Menu, File Context Menu, and EXE file Context Menu. For each of those options, the app offers a list manager where users can add or remove a wide array of options, shortcuts to system apps, functionality toggles, and much more.

The app can be configured to fit the needs of each individual user. It even has a menu cleaning feature that allows users to remove unwanted shortcuts that many 3rd party programs have infused into the right-click context menu.

EXE file Context Menu is 100% FREE and can be used on both modern and legacy versions of Windows OS. The compatibility starts with Windows XP and goes all the way up to Windows 10 and Windows 11. With the help of the community, this useful OS utility has also been translated into over 30 international languages.
