- Suggested by pajenn
FileMenu Tools customizes the context menu of Explorer, adding built-in utilities for file and folder operations. Users can add customized commands that run external applications, copy/move to a specific folder or delete specific file types; customize the "Send to..." submenu; and enable/disable the commands which are added by other applications to the context menu.
The built-in utilities allow the user to run a given program with arguments, copy/move to a folder, copy path, UNC path, Internet path, name or content to clipboard, view or change attributes, split/join a file, register/unregister a DLL, find and replace, advanced rename, synchronize two folders, delete locked files, create symbolic link, calculate and verify SHA/MD5 checksums, shred files, change folders icon, and many more.
Supports 32 or 64-bit automatically.

@Napiophelios: I agree that it is not stealth, but could you explain why you do not consider it portable?

I registered using the provided register.exe file,then opened the app.
I closed the app and then unregistered like the description says.
I then moved it to another partition and got an error message:

It stands to reason one would be able to move the app from one spot to another without an error message...hence a portable.
Dont get me wrong,I would love to see a proper portable of FMTools,I love the application.I just dont see the point in using this launcher in its current form.
All its really doing is preserving your settings,which can already be done via the gui.
This launcher is really just an open version of the installer.I think whoever wrote the NSIS script just needs to tweak the script a little,its kinda going the wrong direction.
Instead of preserving where the app was last run from; it should be procuring its current position when you open it and passing that info onto the launcher like other PortableApps.com launchers do.

Also,the register and unregister exe files are pointless.
The NSIS launcher should register automatically when opened and unregister automatically when closed.
I know for fact NSIS scripts are capable of such functions.

"How damn hard would it be to" click the Website link if checking "what options are available by this program" is what you want?

Not hard at all.The website link goes to the info page and shows you the xtra context menu options available,the screenshots found in this DB entry are also pretty helpful if you can read'em fast enough :)

The current link, http://www.lopesoft.com/fmtools/FileMenuTools_6.2.0.0.paf.exe gets a "not found" and is for an earlier version. Version 6.3 is at http://www.lopesoft.com/fmtools/FileMenuToolsPortable-setup.exe

I've got this installed and I was a hairsbreadth away from uninstalling it because of the update process from 6.2 to 6.3.
Its updater first tried to trick me into installing a toolbar I don't want. I avoided that and it tried a second time with a different toolbar which I also avoided. If there had been a third, I would have gotten rid of this software completely - I almost kicked it out when the 2nd toolbar installation attempt appeared, but the software is just about useful enough to survive 2 toolbar installation attempts.
V6.3
