Analysis

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

ShellNewHandler
ZikCards

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 ZikCards.

Which are the primary technologies used for building your product?

ZikCards's answer:

Laravel (PHP), MariaDB and Redis, served behind Cloudflare. Cards are issued through a US card-issuing partner, deposits are taken in USDT, and identity verification runs automatically with document and selfie checks.

What makes your product unique?

ZikCards's answer:

ZikCards cards are issued in the US on credit BINs, the card ranges ad platforms and US merchants accept most readily, rather than the prepaid ranges many alternatives use. Every customer is identity-verified, and every fee is published up front, including the issuer's decline and cross-border charges that most providers leave out.

Why should a person choose your product over its competitors?

ZikCards's answer:

Three reasons: acceptance (US-issued credit BINs, tested with real purchases and with Google Ads billing), transparency (every fee listed before you pay, no monthly fee, and an unused balance comes back to your account when you close a card), and trust (full identity verification and a registered US company behind the service).

What's the story behind your product?

ZikCards's answer:

ZikCards started from a simple frustration: living outside the US, having the money, and still being declined by ad platforms and software companies because of where the card was issued. I'm a solo founder, and I built ZikCards to close that gap: a US-issued card funded from a stablecoin balance, with verification and fees done properly.

How would you describe the primary audience of your product?

ZikCards's answer:

People and small businesses in the US and almost every other country who pay for US-based online services: advertisers and agencies running ads, developers buying cloud and AI tools, and freelancers who earn in US dollars and need a US-issued card for the services they pay for.

  • 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
