Analysis

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

ShellNewHandler

LiveRec

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 LiveRec.

What makes your product unique?

LiveRec's answer:

LiveRec records TikTok lives in the cloud, automatically. You add a creator once and every live they go on is recorded in HD, even when your phone is off. Every recording also joins a shared library, so you can rewatch millions of past TikTok lives, including ones recorded before you installed the app.

Why should a person choose your product over its competitors?

LiveRec's answer:

Screen recording only works while you are watching, ties up your phone, and often produces black screens or missing audio. LiveRec records by itself from the source stream, so the recording is complete and in HD whether or not you were there. You can then replay it, clip the best moment, or download the whole live.

How would you describe the primary audience of your product?

LiveRec's answer:

People who follow TikTok creators and do not want to miss their lives: fans in other time zones, people who are at work or asleep when a creator goes live, and anyone who wants to rewatch, clip or keep a live after it ends.

What's the story behind your product?

LiveRec's answer:

TikTok lives disappear the moment they end, and viewers get no replay. LiveRec was built so that missing a live no longer means losing it. It launched on the App Store and Google Play in December 2025.

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
