SmartXPlore is an add-ons system for Windows Explorer. Each add-on is available using the middle mouse click in the Explorer Window. Same actions refer to selected files, other to the current browsing directory.
From the blog:
How often do you use Windows Explorer to browse your files? What if you can download add-ons for Windows Explorer in order to easily share files, manage them, tag them and …

SmartXplore will let you do this and more: think you can have lots of new options to manipulate your files just one click from you.
Download:SmartXplore
New add-ons:http://www.smartxplore.org

SmartXplore is free and open source.

Note: The first beta version has many features, but probably some bugs. Please send feedback.

Evidently written in AutoHotKey, although its not clear if this is still the case.
License is Apache 2.0 and the code is available here: http://code.google.com/p/smartxplore/

Checked the source code on googlecode and it still appears to be in AutoHotKey.

I confirm that it's written in AutoHotkey. :? Is that a problem?

to download an add-on just press the "install" button on the add-on card at www.smartxplore.org
You need to have flash installed.
In general it's difficult to install an add-on directly from the browser, especially for a portable program, but, if you have flash enabled, perssing the "Install" button will copy a code to the clipboard; SmartXplore will intercept it and the add-on will be installed.
Tell me if something goes wrong.

In fact the opposite. Many programs here are produced in AHK, which is itself portable.
