FileViewer.app VS ShellNewHandler

• No installation required
  I could not verify this site's details. Web-based file viewers like FileViewer.app generally let you open files in the browser without installing software, which saves time and disk space.
• Cross-platform access
  A browser-based viewer usually works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices, so you can open unfamiliar file types on any device. Check the site to confirm which formats it supports.
• Convenient for quick previews
  Tools of this kind are meant for fast, one-off viewing of documents, images, or other files. That helps when you don't want to buy or learn a full application for a rarely used format.
• Simple interface
  Online viewers typically have a minimal upload-and-view workflow that needs little technical skill. Confirm this by trying the site yourself.
• Potentially free to use
  Many online file viewers offer a free tier for basic viewing. Check the site's pricing and any usage limits before relying on it.

Possible disadvantages

• Privacy and security concerns
  If files are uploaded to a server, sensitive or confidential documents may be exposed. Review the site's privacy policy and data retention practices before uploading anything private.
• Requires internet connection
  A web-based tool generally needs a working internet connection. It is less useful offline or on slow networks, especially with large files.
• Limited features compared to native apps
  Online viewers usually offer viewing only, with little or no editing, annotation, or advanced rendering. Complex files may not display exactly as they do in their native software.
• File size and format limitations
  Web tools often cap upload size or support only certain formats. Large or obscure files may fail to open or render correctly.
• Limited verifiable information
  I have no reliable independent information on this site's reputation, reliability, or support, so its trustworthiness is unverified. Look for reviews, company details, and clear terms of service before depending on it.

• 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. Source: about 4 years ago

• 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. Source: over 5 years ago
