Interest-Free Payments Afterpay allows users to make purchases and pay for them in four equal installments without incurring interest, making it a cost-effective option if payments are made on time.
Easy Approval Process Unlike traditional credit, Afterpay offers an easy sign-up process with no significant credit checks, making it accessible to a wider range of consumers.
Budgeting Assistance The payment plan can help users manage their spending by breaking down large payments into smaller chunks, aiding in budgeting and cash flow management.
Instant Gratification Users can receive their purchases immediately without having to pay the full amount upfront, providing immediate enjoyment of the product.
No Hidden Fees As long as payments are made on schedule, users don't incur additional costs, making the fee structure transparent and predictable.
Possible disadvantages
Late Fees Failure to make payments on time can lead to late fees, which can accumulate and potentially make purchases more expensive than anticipated.
Impulse Purchases The ability to pay later might encourage consumers to spend beyond their means, leading to potential financial stress.
Limited Merchant Acceptance While widely accepted, not all merchants offer Afterpay as a payment option, which can limit its usefulness for some consumers.
Potential Impact on Credit Repeated missed payments can negatively affect a user's credit score, although positive payments do not aid in credit building, as Afterpay doesn’t report to major credit bureaus.
Restrictions on Returns Some retailers may have different return policies for items purchased with Afterpay, potentially complicating the return process compared to other payment methods.

Overall verdict
ShellNewHandler is a niche, lightweight utility hosted on SourceForge designed to give users more control over the Windows 'New' context menu (the ShellNew menu). It can be considered good for its specific narrow use case, but it is an older, minimally maintained tool that may not suit all users, especially those on modern Windows versions.
Why this product is good
Provides direct control over customizing the Windows right-click 'New' menu, allowing users to add or remove file type entries
Lightweight and free, without bundled bloatware typical of some other free utilities
Simple and focused in scope, making it easy to understand for its specific purpose
Open distribution via SourceForge allows transparency and no-cost access
Recommended for
Power users who want to declutter or customize the Windows New context menu
IT administrators managing standardized desktop environments across multiple machines
Users comfortable with older utility-style tools and Windows registry-related tweaks
Not recommended for casual users seeking modern, actively supported software with regular updates

I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?
Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu.

This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?
I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible.
