Thank you all for the information on the FileMenu Tools. Of course it's too late to get the program now, and from now on I will come back in a shorter period of time to see the comments about a program offered and have noted that there is a time limit to get it not only downloaded, but installed too!! I am actually looking for a search tool for my computer, whenever I search for something on my computer (windows 7), it only goes by word recognition (laymen terms lol), so i get a lot of possibilities that have nothing to do with what i am searching for...This probably doesn't make a lot of sense. Thanks again for the updated comments.

Day late (literally!) and a dollar short...
Just tried adding the following to the Idea Informer box:
"To be truly portable, this shouldn't be writing settings to HKCU\LopeSoft in the registry, nor registration data to C:\Users\All Users\LopeSoft
The fact that the reg data also appears to be locked to the PC instead of the portable drive (though I can't guarantee this) also prevents it from really being used in a portable manner.
And more explanation could be given as to why there are three executable files for the portable version instead of just a launcher--are the other two to use for recovery in case of malfunction, or needed regularly?"

Also, can't guarantee this either, but I think the program defaults to checking for updates weekly--since we will lose our registration if we update past the current version 7.7, you may wish to disable this (change frequency to Never) from the program settings!

If you have a previous version of FMT, all you need is the Licence Key from the Readme File - you don't need to reinstall the program.

Anyone know what's new in 7.7 over the previous giveaway of 7.6.2? Can't find anything on their site or within the program.

I also note that this license is valid for version 7.7 and earler so if you have both versions on the same machine the 7.7 license code activation will also activate 7.6.2

It amazes me how often I come here to read the "comments/reviews", only to be stuck with opinions on OTHER programs. Do any of you actually down load the program and really check it out? Or do you have your opinions on what YOU think is better. I don't mean to be rakish about this but what about THIS product and what you liked about it? Is it worth a novice trying to use it? How long did you give it before putting your comments on the board? I am so technically challenged that I have to depend on others reviews/comments/critiques. And although I know your hearts are in the right place, could you please tell me about the product, not tell me to go somewhere else and try a different one? LOL we need testers that are not so verbal about their favorite program, and tell us about this one. Please take this as a request not a complaint.
Thank you GOTD for the chance for us "seniors" to have a few of the "goodies" for free. It's tough being on a fixed income, places like GOTD are the ones that help us along...

I tried this out a couple of months ago but was immediately disappointed when I found that it failed to show a number of existing context menu items and as such, sadly gave me no confidence in it's ability.

Been using this for years. I have the paid version. Really like it. It's a geek's tool.

This is an incredible utility and at a very reasonable price. Thank you so much!

LopeSoft FileMenu Tools is a really nice tool with many great features and it is among the programs that I always have installed on my PC - the feature I use the most is the advanced re-name.

Have been using this for years. One of my top utilities. A Swiss army knife.

There is also a more simplistic content menu editor included in CCleaner, if you find this program a little overwhelming.

A very fine giveaway. Lopesoft software is excellent

If this one is not the good for you, Or il you can get it tomorrow, there is an excellent always free alternative :

"Easy Context Menu"

I really like the Advanced renamer command with multiple parameters. thank you both the developer and GAOTD.

There was a GAOTD program that allowed me to perform saving and opening files very easily to/from a location which is already open in an explorer window. What I needed in it was to just click on the explorer window and come back to the save as/open dialog of any program, the path of the explorer window would be automatically parced into the dialog. Agreat time saver. Sadly, I lost it in the last PC change.

I thought this was it. Guys, Anyone know which program it is?

The software will add some items in Right click menu.
But the problem is: I have too many items in my Right click menu (link below), could you please help to delete some of them?

Normally when you right click on a file or directory, you get a context menu popup giving you commands you can run on that type of file - open in a specific editor, print, send to the desktop, etc. This program allows you to tweak this menu. Well, more specifically, it adds its own menu which you can tweak. You still can't amend the menu offered by other programs. For example, 7zip adds a whole bunch of options for files and folders. You cant amend these in this program - only turn it on or off. On the surface the program offers to do a lot, but it is quite limiting. You also have to run the program as administrator, otherwise it moans it can't do certain operations.
The program does come with a set of 'tools' which you would use infrequently - split file, encrypt file, change the file time, create checksum, etc.
If you need to edit the context menu of other applications, the king of doing this is still the tool from Nirsoft. For general file 'admin' tasks, this has a good set of tools, always handily available.
