  • Simple concept
    From its name, PickYourFav appears to be built around choosing favorites, such as polls, votes, or rankings. That kind of focus is usually easy for new users to understand without a tutorial. I could not browse the site, so this is inferred rather than verified.
  • Likely low barrier to participation
    Voting or favorite-picking sites typically need little effort to take part, often a few clicks and sometimes no account. That tends to encourage casual engagement. Check the site to confirm how it works.
  • Engaging for casual use
    Pick-your-favorite formats are usually quick and fun, which suits entertainment, fan communities, and light social interaction.
  • Potentially useful for gathering opinions
    If the site lets users create or share polls, it could help individuals or communities collect preferences quickly. The actual features would need to be confirmed on the site.

Analysis

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

ShellNewHandler
PickYourFav

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

  • 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
