If you’re a power user, chances are that you install a lot of apps and naturally, many come with context menu options that allow you to access their features quickly and easily.

Keeping the context menu clean and organized might be a very difficult task, but this little tool that measures less than 1MB in size promises to make the whole process a lot easier.

The intuitively-called Context Menu Manager is an application that does exactly what its name says, while also providing users with a little bonus.

All options are basically displayed in just a single screen divided into four different parts to manage file associations, edit the context menu, access the extension manager, and play with some other related tweaks that could help you change configuration of the menu.

At first, using Context Menu Manager doesn’t seem a simple thing to do and you might actually need a bit more time to discover which feature is which. There’s no documentation available, so beginners might really have a hard time doing it. This is actually a major drawback, so let’s just like that developers will improve the help section in the future versions by adding tutorials and information on the available features.

Editing the context menu, on the other hand, shouldn’t be too difficult, especially if you know a little about computers. You can create a separate menu for standard Windows actions, such as copy and move, but also add entries for launching installed apps. Of course, Context Menu Manager also allows users to edit the existing entries and change them the way they like.

Context Menu Manager is completely free and supports all Windows versions on the market, but keep in mind that administrator privileges are needed on Windows 7 and 8 in order to modify system configuration.

In the end, this is quite a helpful tool for many users, so make sure you download Context Menu Manager at some point if you need to tweak the default Windows settings and keep things clean and organized.
