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 Phimetra.

What makes your product unique?

Phimetra's answer:

Phimetra is built for the aesthetic consultation itself. From one photo it computes measured facial indicators (Ricketts reference points, golden ratio, symmetry), maps the treatment zones and produces an indicative before/after projection plus a dated PDF report. Patient photos and results are processed and hosted in the European Union (France, Germany), encrypted at rest, photos are deleted within 30 days at most, and explicit GDPR Article 9 consent is recorded with a timestamp before every analysis. It is presented as a pedagogical aid, not a diagnosis.

Why should a person choose your product over its competitors?

Phimetra's answer:

Clinic management suites focus on booking, invoicing and records; Phimetra focuses on the pre-consultation conversation. The patient sees a measured, indicative projection of the zones she is considering, and the practitioner gets a patient CRM, quote tracking and remote pre-consultation links. Pricing is public and monthly with no commitment (Discovery €29, Cabinet €149, Clinic on quote), practices get a 14-day free trial, patient data is processed only in the EU, and the interface is available in 5 languages.

What's the story behind your product?

Phimetra's answer:

Phimetra is developed in France by Saywa, a one-person software business. It started from a simple observation: patients struggle to picture what an injectable treatment could change, and verbal explanations leave room for misunderstanding. Phimetra launched in May 2026; with the first practitioner using it, 26 of the 52 analysis links sent to her patients were used (May to September 2026). In September 2026 all processing of patient data was moved to EU providers.

How would you describe the primary audience of your product?

Phimetra's answer:

Aesthetic physicians, dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons, and aesthetic clinics with several practitioners, who discuss injectable and facial treatments with patients and want a clearer, documented pre-consultation. A Discovery plan is also available for solo users who want to prepare a consultation.

Which are the primary technologies used for building your product?

Phimetra's answer:

  • Next.js (React, TypeScript)
  • PocketBase on an encrypted volume, servers in France (OVHcloud)
  • MediaPipe face landmarks, self-hosted
  • Scaleway Generative APIs (Paris) for photo analysis
  • Stripe for payments
  • Scaleway Transactional Email

  • 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
