Super useful 4 stars by Irritated Feb 18, 2011 (Read all my 12 reviews)
Great deep-configuration tool for Windows. NOT FOR THE CASUAL USER! Your teenager will kill your Windows installation in about five minutes with this tool. For the advanced user or IT professionals it can be an extremely simple way to solve some otherwise tedious problems. The author, Nirsoft, makes a wide variety of other unique, single-use power tools--many of which end up in my portable USB toolkit. showShow review details

Windows explorer right click crash fixed 5 stars by curmudgeon1936 Sep 23, 2009
Windows Explorer consistently crashed when right-clicking any file name or file icon except MyComputer and Shortcuts. Only way to delete or rename a file was via PowerDesk, which of course turned out to be the cause of the problem. Shexview.exe helped me nail the context menu and Drag-and-Drop shell extensions in PowerDesk as the culprits. Months of aggravation solved in minutes! showShow review details
Explorer right click problem cured, fantastic 5 stars by waltersmitty Aug 12, 2009
Sick of my computer crashing every time I right clicked in Explorer, I downloaded ShellExView. I disabled all the extensions which were highlighted by ShellExView and then enabled them one by one, each time right clicking in Explorer until I found the culprit. Better file renamer was causing my problem. I can't thank the writer of this little prog enough. He is my hero and to get it for free is nothing short of amazing. showShow review details
Amazing product 5 stars by SpanmasterS Jul 16, 2009
I spent quite a bit of time trying figure out why my mouses right click stopped working. Shellexview took care of it about 5 seconds. Nicely done. showShow review details
Windows Explorer right click failure 5 stars by zedajal Jan 06, 2009
The problem symptom: "When I right-click a file in Windows Explorer, I get a message that Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" ShellExView enabled me to resolve the issue; I cannot imagine how else I could have solved the problem; it was a snap... showShow review details
Excellent utility 5 stars by gimpguy Sep 25, 2008 (Read all my 654 reviews)
This saves so much time, viewing editing, modifying. I love it. This is one of those tools that can save others from having to use Google to find where every path is for these files. A must have, a can't live without! showShow review details
It is not portable. 4 stars by gbjennings Aug 07, 2007 (Read all my 21 reviews)
In spite of otherwise being an excellent utility, it still writes it's settings to the registry instead of to an INI file. It is therefore not portable on a USB stick. The author could easily change this and make this a truly gold star utility. showShow review details
Wonderful, excellent! 5 stars by D_Spider Jun 18, 2007 (Read all my 19 reviews)
It even has a convenient "search" function. It does what all the other reviewers have noted, and one thing they haven't: you can disable the context-menu entries of useful programs that rely on the context menu (Recase, CROA, etc.) until you want to use them. Then re-enable, get rid of all the ugly capital letters, for instance, and return the right-click menu to its cleaned-up, shortened state. (If ShellExView doesn't list the shell extension you want to disable, check out NirSoft's companion utility, "Shell Menu View" [shmnview].) It's amazing how nice it feels not to have to look at an interminable list of annoyances every time you right-click! showShow review details
So wonderful i take it for granted 5 stars by jackfrost May 13, 2007 (Read all my 34 reviews)
Why this is not part of the management console snap-ins for administrative tools, i will never know. but it is a critical tool and a wonderful one at that. Nir Sofers little tools are truly a way to build a better mouse trap. you are a good man Mr. Sofer. showShow review details
Must have utility 5 stars by RCAmans Oct 29, 2006
I am a Windows expert since forever, and could not fix my XP problem, until I tried this. A virus scanner shell extension was causing my explorer crashes, and before knowing that, I completely reinstalled WXP from scratch trying to fix the problem. What a waste of time I could have avoided with this utility. showShow review details
Very handy! 5 stars by dolf04 Mar 13, 2006 (Read all my 4 reviews)

Really essential! easy to use. 5 stars by Ghost_grey Jan 31, 2006 (Read all my 56 reviews)
Shellexview (shell context extension view) does what its was made for, no installation required, quickly disables/enables/remove shell context menus, it even comes color coded so non windows shellext are highlighted in pink, so they are easy to distinguish and it also red highlights suspicious shell extensions (useless), disabled items are colored in grey, and it has a quick find for quickly finding items, very good descriptions all this for free, I cant believe i've gone this long without having this! this person (Nir sofer) who makes all these tools is really an innovator. showShow review details
