Description
Opening an elevated PowerShell in the current folder means launching a terminal and typing a long cd; editing a file under system32 throws Access Denied until you have clicked through several layers of property dialogs to take ownership. RightClickTools puts all of that into the Explorer right-click menu: CMD, PowerShell and Regedit here, at your choice of user, Administrator or TrustedInstaller level, so even system files can be changed.
The menu also covers take ownership, add the folder to PATH, clean temp files and recent items, toggle hidden files, restart Explorer and search the current folder with advanced syntax. Both the Windows 11 modern menu and the classic menu are supported, and you can add your own tools. Open source under MIT, offered as an installer and a portable zip, with 30 interface languages.
Open here: CMD, PowerShell, PowerShell Core, Regedit and a file manager in the current folder at the chosen elevation.
Three elevation levels: Current user, Administrator or TrustedInstaller; with the optional elevation task there are no further UAC prompts.
Take ownership: One click ownership and full control over a file or folder.
PATH management: Add or remove the current folder from the user or system PATH.
Clean and repair: Clear temp files, recent items and Defender quarantine records, rebuild icon and thumbnail caches, restart Explorer.
Search helper: Combine kind, size, date and content conditions to search the current folder.
Extensible: Add your own programs with arguments; edit labels and translations in Language.ini.
Win11 menus: A signed handler for the modern menu, zero overhead registry entries for the classic one.
