Analysis

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

ShellNewHandler
Reslota

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 Reslota.

What makes your product unique?

Reslota's answer:

Reslota puts a full restaurant POS and an AI that works the restaurant's WhatsApp in one product. The AI answers guests in English, Urdu and Roman Urdu and puts their orders straight onto the till, and every restaurant also gets its own ordering website with live tracking and no commission on orders. It is built around how Pakistani cafes run: rupees, udhaar for regulars, riders, delivery priced by distance, and the owner's daily report on WhatsApp.

Why should a person choose your product over its competitors?

Reslota's answer:

Most POS systems record what happened at the counter and stop there. Reslota also brings orders in: through WhatsApp, where the AI takes them, and through the restaurant's own ordering page, where no commission is taken. It shows the owner where money leaks (discounts, voids, returned deliveries and stock missing in counts), keeps working when the internet drops, and needs no new hardware. Pricing is one monthly fee per location, from Rs 3,000, with no charge per order or per user.

How would you describe the primary audience of your product?

Reslota's answer:

Owners of cafes, restaurants, fast food outlets and bakeries in Pakistan, from a single counter to a few branches. Typically they take dine in, takeaway and delivery orders, get many orders and questions on WhatsApp, give udhaar to regular customers, and want to know their real sales and profit without being at the counter all day.

What's the story behind your product?

Reslota's answer:

Reslota was started in Lahore in 2026 by a software engineer who kept seeing the same thing at local cafes: guests messaging on WhatsApp and waiting for replies, delivery apps taking a large cut of every order, and owners with no clear picture of where the money went. Reslota was built to fix all three in one place: a POS for the counter, an AI that answers WhatsApp, and an ordering website the restaurant owns. The first cafes run it today, and the product is shaped by what they ask for every week.

Which are the primary technologies used for building your product?

Reslota's answer:

  • .NET (ASP.NET Core) for the backend
  • Angular for the web app and the ordering website
  • Microsoft SQL Server on Azure
  • WhatsApp Business Platform (Meta Cloud API)
  • Google Gemini for the AI assistant

Who are some of the biggest customers of your product?

Reslota's answer:

  • Tea Wala (Lahore)
  • Bojo
  • Aloo Wala
  • Jibli's

  • 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

Tracking Reslota since Oct 2026.
