ShellNewHandler

Noms.sh

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 Noms.sh.

Which are the primary technologies used for building your product?

Noms.sh's answer:

Python, PostgreSQL, and Google Cloud.

What makes your product unique?

Noms.sh's answer:

One catalog covers 3.7M foods and 298K brands across 230 countries, from generic foods like an apple to packaged supermarket products, with 3.4M barcodes and 566K food images. Names are normalized, units reconciled and duplicates merged before the response reaches you. Each food carries up to 177 nutrients per 100 g or 100 ml.

Why should a person choose your product over its competitors?

Noms.sh's answer:

Coverage outside the US, including Latin America, in one API. Clean data without doing the cleanup yourself. A free tier with 250 requests a day and no card, then plans from $29 a month. JSON responses with cursor pagination and RFC 9457 errors, described by an OpenAPI 3.1 document.

How would you describe the primary audience of your product?

Noms.sh's answer:

Developers building food, fitness, nutrition and grocery apps who need reliable nutrition data and barcode lookup without maintaining their own food database.

What's the story behind your product?

Noms.sh's answer:

Food data is scattered across sources that disagree on names, units and duplicates, and every app ends up redoing the same cleanup. Noms does that work once and serves the result through one API.

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
