ShellToys XP is a set of 38 tools and utilities that act as extensions to the Windows® shell (the Explorer application that provides your desktop, icons and folder windows, and Open/Save dialogs, among other things). After installation, a new ShellToys XP item appears on the context menu you see when you right-click a file or folder icon, or a blank space in the window. Simply move down to this item and select the action you want from the submenu. ShellToys are not just available in folder and Explorer windows. You can use ShellToys tools in Open and Save dialogs (on compatible systems), on the Desktop, and in the Start and Favorites menus. The Overview page lists the ShellToys XP context-menu items with brief descriptions, but you won't see all those items on the menu at the same time. The contents of the menu varies according to whether you right-clicked one file or several, a shortcut file, an archive file, an image file, an audio file, a folder, or a blank space between icons in a folder or file dialog, or the desktop. Why ShellToys XP? ShellToys is designed and optimized for Microsoft® Windows® XP operating systems. However, ShellToys XP can be installed and used on Windows 98, 98 Second Edition, Millennium Edition and 2000, although there are some differences in the way certain tools operate. Please read the relevant Release Notes for your operating system before using ShellToys XP.
