Analysis

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

ShellNewHandler
StoreTally

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 StoreTally.

What makes your product unique?

StoreTally's answer:

It covers five stores in one place, browser extensions and mobile apps together, and it's free with no sign-up. It also keeps delisted listings on record, so you can see what disappeared from a store, not just what's in it.

Why should a person choose your product over its competitors?

StoreTally's answer:

Most extension and app analytics tools are paid or behind an account, and each covers either browsers or mobile. StoreTally gives growth history, rankings, launches and removals for the Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Apple and Google Play stores, free.

What's the story behind your product?

StoreTally's answer:

I wanted to know what was popular and growing quickly, to get ideas for what to build myself. I started with Chrome extensions, because I wanted to see which ones were growing fastest and didn't want to pay someone to find that out. It now tracks five stores, and it's still free.

How would you describe the primary audience of your product?

StoreTally's answer:

Indie developers and makers looking for ideas, extension and app developers watching competitors, and marketers and researchers sizing a market.

Which are the primary technologies used for building your product?

StoreTally's answer:

Built with .NET.

  • 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
