sandboxels.cc VS ShellNewHandler

• Free and browser-based
  Sandboxels runs directly in a web browser with no download, installation, or account needed, so it is easy to start playing right away on most desktop and mobile devices at no cost.
• Huge variety of elements
  The game includes hundreds of elements such as liquids, powders, gases, solids, plants, animals, and machines. They react with each other in interesting ways, which encourages experimentation and discovery.
• Creative open-ended sandbox
  There are no fixed goals or restrictions, so players can build, destroy, and simulate whatever they imagine. This makes it relaxing and engaging for both casual players and people interested in physics or chemistry-style interactions.
• Mod support and active community
  Players can load community-made mods, add custom elements, and share saves. Frequent updates and a strong community keep the game fresh and expand its content over time.
• Save and share features
  Users can save their creations, load them later, and share them with others. Settings and tools such as different brush sizes, pause, and simulation-speed controls give good control over the sandbox.

Possible disadvantages

• Performance issues on large simulations
  Because it runs in the browser, filling the screen with many active particles or complex reactions can cause lag or slowdowns, especially on older devices or phones.
• Steep learning curve for discovering interactions
  With so many elements and little in-game guidance, it can be hard for newcomers to know which elements react or how to achieve specific results without checking the wiki or trial and error.
• Simplified, not realistic physics
  The simulation is pixel-based and simplified, so reactions and behavior do not always match real-world science. It should be treated as entertainment rather than as an accurate educational tool.
• No real objectives or progression
  Since it is a pure sandbox, there are no goals, challenges, or rewards. Players who prefer structured gameplay may lose interest quickly.
• Mods and saves can be unreliable
  Saves are stored in the browser and can be lost if data is cleared. Community mods may also be buggy, incompatible with updates, or of inconsistent quality.

• 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
