FileMenu tools includes a set of handy tools which can be easily accessed from the right click context menu of any file/folder. The tools can be individually customized and organized as required. We can also set filters for different types of file extensions so that the particular tool is displayed in the right click menu only for that corresponding extension.

Add a new Command
Open a Program with…
Click the ‘Add Command’ button to add a new item in the FileMenu Tools menu. We have to edit the data in the ‘Properties Window’ to make the operation functional. Consider an example; we need ‘Open with Firefox’ in the menu whenever we right click any html files. This can enabled by defining ‘File Extensions’ property in the properties window. Since this new menu should appear only for the files and not for folders we choose ‘No’ for the folders property. We can also change the icon which is displayed in the right click menu.
Properties Window
Add SendTo item
To add a item in the SendTo menu, we select the ‘SendTo’ tab and click add command. For example, if we need to add DropBox folder in the ‘SendTo’ Menu we set the following properties.

TIP! Making FileMenuTools Portable
Step1 : Install FileMenu Tools in a temporary folder.
Step2: Copy all the contents in the FileMenuTools installation folder, except unins000.dat, unins000.exe, to a new folder.
Step3: Uninstall FileMenuTools application from Add/Remove programs.
Step4: Run ‘F’ileMenuTools.exe’ from the folder which was created in Step2.
Note: We cannot make this portable with Uniextract since it is not able to unpack the setup file.
