For your available file explorer contextual menu neat and productiveWe will recommend, in five categories, tools that we believe, if not indispensable, highly recommended.
1. Add a complete package of tools
FileMenu ToolsInstead of adding a single function, some programs contain several utilities grouped in a single package. This is the case FileMenu Tools, Open + + or Qwiktulz. Qwiktulz is the only one that does not add a separate section, adding the fifteen functions in the root of the Explorer menu. Open + + offers greater flexibility, but includes fewer items.
FileMenu Tools is the best. Not only in Spanish but has a great panel, from which you can manage the menu 'Send to' command to modify other applications and manage their own, which include functions to copy and change attributes, split and join files, destroyed and many more.
2. Convert and edit multimedia files
dMCOne of the more powerful features you can access the contextual menu is the conversion of files.

For video you have VIDEOzilla, One of the few converters that have a good integration with Explorer. Before proceeding, VideoInspector will provide all the information you need about a particular video.
Image manipulation, we have more tools yet. To resize or convert images you can choose between VSO Image Resizer, Morz Image Converter, Right Click Image Converter or Image Converter Plus. The first two are free, and while that Morz Image Converter can say it is light and versatile enough, we can not stop praising VSO Image Resizer by the elegance of its interface and the number of accessible functions: conversion, resizing, optimization and even a filter.
3. Upload or move files in a flash
RightLoadMove files with the context menu is another much needed role. To upload to a remote FTP server with excellent test RightLoad, Upload Express or Fling. While Fling is more focused on the timing, RightLoad (formerly known as ShellFTP) is perhaps the most intuitive and powerful option, can upload multiple files at once, create thumbnails of images before upload and manage multiple profiles in a single menu.
For other items, the selection diversifies. Flickr sendto Upload images to the popular online photo storage, while Send To GMail notable advantage of the Google mail space to save files. UniUpload is even more interesting because it adds options to upload images to ImageShack and files to MediaFire. If you run short, then download SendToAny, Which will add a submenu to 'Send to' compatible with any route possible. What if you need the previous listing of a directory? Filelist are created for you in a second, ready to print.

What it does is upload any file to the VirusTotal page for more than thirty antivirus analyze both their content.
