Context Menu+

Your right-click menu, your rules - fewer distractions, more of what you use.

Do more from a right-click: reach favorite files and folders with Quick pins, explore folders with Quick browse, run PowerShell scripts, and give frequently used menu commands their own keyboard shortcuts.

Windows 11's right-click menu buries useful commands behind "Show more options," while the classic menu can get crowded with entries from apps you barely use. Context Menu+ puts you back in charge of both.

Choose a menu style, then use Customize... to arrange commands and submenus for each kind of right-click menu. Adjust the theme and keep frequently used actions close at hand. Pair it with Commands+ to add your own programs, scripts and input prompts.

Why you'll love Context Menu+

Customize your first menu step by step

More than a tidier right-click menu

Quick pins: favorite places within reach

Keep frequently used files and folders together in Quick pins, with groups for different projects. Use the same pins across menus, and show them in Explorer's navigation pane with Navigation+.

Quick browse: follow folders from the menu

Browse a folder tree through nested menus, then open the item you need. Start from the current folder or choose a starting folder in the menu designer.

A hotkey for the command you use most

Assign a keyboard shortcut to an executable context-menu entry, including commands from other apps. Run it from File Explorer without reopening the menu. The shortcut follows the command across layouts; submenu headings and separators are excluded.

Run with PowerShell

Right-click a .ps1 file to run it with the included Commands+ action. Scripts with required parameters show an input form, and declared PowerShell version or administrator requirements are respected.

Create and organize without leaving the menu

Bring together New++ templates, Paste as a file, icon packs and photo and music organization. Arrange them where they fit your workflow.

Different menus for different places

Give files, file types, folders, drives, the desktop, Recycle Bin, Start button and taskbar their own layouts. Choose a theme and export your setup to reuse on another PC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need step-by-step help? See the full Context Menu+ guide →

Can I change which commands appear and in what order?

Yes. Choose Customize... on the Context Menu+ page in Settings to design each right-click menu — for files, folders, drives, the desktop, the Recycle Bin, the Start button and the taskbar — choosing which commands appear, in what order and in which submenus.

Can I switch back to the classic Windows context menu?

Yes, open Settings and go to Context Menu+ to switch between the Windows 11 modern menu and the classic full context menu.

How do I remove entries I never use?

In the Modern and Classic sections of Settings, disable individual handlers - from other apps or from Productivity Plus Pack itself - to keep only what you need.

Can I add my own commands?

Yes. Open Commands+ in Settings to create commands with names, icons, variables and input prompts. Use Context Menu+ to arrange the menu around them.

Can I give a menu command its own hotkey?

Yes. In the menu designer, open the command's settings and set Keyboard shortcut. It runs from File Explorer and follows that command wherever it appears. Shortcuts apply to executable commands; submenu headings and separators do not run an action.
