Analysis

An editorial look at what each product does well and who it suits.

ShellNewHandler
GloboPoll

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

Questions & Answers

As answered by people managing ShellNewHandler and GloboPoll.

What's the story behind your product?

GloboPoll's answer:

GloboPoll is built by Cibernatural, a small software company in Lanzarote, Spain. We kept seeing the same three options: social-media polls anyone can rig, long forms nobody finishes, and professional tools priced for marketing budgets that a local paper or an association can't afford. In all three, nobody could fully trust the result. So we set a few rules before writing any code: one vote per person enforced in the database, six languages from day one, live results with a date, no tracking cookies and human review of every poll. Our first public pilot was Teguise Town Council in Lanzarote, whose residents chose the theme of the 2027 Carnival through a widget on the council's website (412 votes in twelve days).

Who are some of the biggest customers of your product?

GloboPoll's answer:

  • Teguise Town Council (Lanzarote, Spain)
  • PaleoTraining Spain

What makes your product unique?

GloboPoll's answer:

One vote per person is enforced in the database itself, not by a check on the screen that a script can skip, and people can still vote anonymously without signing up. On top of that: nine ballot types (single and multiple choice, yes/no/abstain, rating and NPS, ranked voting with Borda, instant-runoff or Condorcet, quadratic and cumulative points, pairwise comparison, knockout brackets and multi-question questionnaires), six languages from day one, live results that state how many votes they are based on and when they were counted, a person reviewing every poll before it goes public, and no tracking cookies.

Why should a person choose your product over its competitors?

GloboPoll's answer:

Quick poll tools are easy to rig: the same person votes ten times from a private window. Form and survey tools ask voters to sign up or charge per response. GloboPoll sits in between. Votes are hard to rig without asking voters to sign up (VPNs and proxies can be blocked too), the embeddable widget is free on any website (including a WordPress plugin), and the results can be trusted and quoted. The Pro plan adds advanced ballot types, invitation-only voting, polls visible only on your own site, an API and webhooks.

How would you describe the primary audience of your product?

GloboPoll's answer:

Organisations that need a vote people will accept as fair: local news outlets that embed polls in their articles, town councils running public consultations, associations, clubs and professional bodies voting among their members, and teams making internal decisions. Plus anyone who wants a quick poll that friends can't stuff with votes.

Which are the primary technologies used for building your product?

GloboPoll's answer:

Python and Django with a Strawberry GraphQL API, PostgreSQL (with row-level security), Redis, Celery, Angular, Stripe, Cloudflare (CDN, Turnstile and R2 storage), Docker and Dokploy.

  • 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
