MyFam VS ShellNewHandler

• Family-focused design
  MyFam appears to be built specifically for families to connect, which may offer a more private and relevant experience compared to general social media platforms that mix family content with public content.
• Potential privacy benefits
  Platforms designed for family networking often emphasize private sharing among trusted relatives rather than broadcasting to the public internet, which can appeal to users concerned about oversharing.
• Simplified user experience
  Niche social platforms for families may offer a cleaner, less cluttered interface focused on core features like photo sharing, updates, and family calendars, without the noise of ads or unrelated content.
• Stronger relevance for content shared
  Since the audience is limited to family members, content shared may be more meaningful and engagement may feel more personal compared to broader social networks.
• Possible unique organizational tools
  Family-specific platforms sometimes include features like family trees, shared photo albums, or event planning tools tailored to multi-generational communication.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited user base
  As a niche platform, MyFam may have far fewer active users compared to established social networks, making it harder to get all family members to adopt and consistently use it.
• Uncertain long-term viability
  Smaller or newer social platforms carry the risk of being discontinued or losing support over time, which could result in loss of data or having to migrate to another platform.
• Fewer third-party integrations
  Unlike major social networks, MyFam may lack integrations with other apps and services, limiting functionality such as syncing with calendars, photo backups, or messaging apps.
• Unclear monetization or data practices
  As a lesser-known platform, there may be less publicly available information about how user data is handled, stored, or monetized, which could be a concern for privacy-conscious users.
• Learning curve for less tech-savvy relatives
  Convincing older or less tech-savvy family members to learn and regularly use a new, unfamiliar platform can be challenging compared to using tools they already know.

• 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
