They are called &#8220;Shell Extensions&#8221; because they extend the Windows shell. Pretty clever, right?<\/p>\n<p>Shell Extensions are one of our favorite types of  software because they are most often focused on performing useful tasks. For  instance, one of our favorite shell extensions is called &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.contextmagic.com\/menu-extension\/\">ContextMagic<\/a>&#8221; which allows the user, simply by right-clicking on a  file, to move or copy the file to any other location on the computer, to copy  the &#8220;file path&#8221; to the clipboard and several other useful things &#8211; all  accessible by a simple right-click.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.contextmagic.com\/menu-extension\/\">ContextMagic<\/a> is a great example of a useful shell extension.
