— the software for making your interactions with Windows Explorer
instant and enjoyable, 3d2f.com.

This handy utility allows you to manage context menus items of file objects displayed in a file manager like Windows Explorer or any other application that deals with shell's application programming interface. It's a very simple way to make your often used file actions quickly accessible.

For an ultimate control over dynamic context menu items added from within Fast Explorer you can define your own look & feel using the custom-drawing feature.

Fast Explorer-driven context menu items can be associated with any file type registered in Windows shell, including the wide range of predefined shell objects:

• All files;
• All files and file folders;
• All non-associated files;
• All folders;
• All file folders;
• File folder background;
• Entire network;
• All network shares;
• All network servers;
• All printers;
• All drives;
• Audio CD in drive;
• DVD drive.

On the other hand, it's pretty easy to detect and clean up orphaned context menu items or remove context menu items added by other applications or context menu extensions without manual digging in the Registry.

Take a look at Fast Explorer screenshots as well to see it in action.
