Nilesoft Shell is a free, open-source (MIT) context-menu manager for Windows File Explorer that lets you add, remove, modify, and style right-click menu items, and is configured entirely through a plain-text file, shell.nss
- Winget:
winget install -e --id Nilesoft.Shell - Scoop:
scoop install nilesoft-shell - Choco:
choco install nilesoft-shell
After install, run shell.exe as Administrator and click Register (or use Shift+right-click taskbar → Shell → Register), then restart Explorer.
Paste the files into C:\Program Files\Nilesoft Shell\.
It should look like:
C:\Program Files\Nilesoft Shell
