DeskBox vs Right Click Enhancer

DeskBox is a free Windows app for organizing desktop files in boxes, mapped folders, stacks, and groups. File boxes support drag and drop, renaming, deletion, opening, and locating items in File Explorer. Mapped folders appear on the desktop without changing the original folder location. Similar files can be stacked manually or automatically, and grouped boxes can be switched with the mouse wheel or Ctrl+Tab. A cleanup flow lets users select files individually, include the public desktop, and resume an interrupted cleanup. Built-in boxes cover files, to-dos, notes, and music controls. DeskBox says files, to-dos, notes, and cache remain on the computer and are not uploaded to the cloud by default. Its built-in boxes have no feature restrictions, ads, or subscriptions; the app is listed as GPL-3.0-only with free personal use. It supports Windows 10 version 21H2 or later and Windows 11, with some materials and animations reduced on Windows 10. Direct installers support x64 or ARM64.

Right Click Enhancer is a Windows control panel for customizing the right-click menu and related file options. It can add application, file, and folder shortcuts, group them into submenus, and remove or disable unwanted entries with its Right Click Editor. File actions include adding destinations to Send To and providing Copy to folder and Move to folder options. Users can add or remove file types in the New menu or create file types with default content. Other controls cover Internet Explorer context-menu entries, file associations, and file descriptions; the product also includes productivity tweaks such as God Mode. Customizations can be saved to a registry file and applied on other PCs. The Free edition is available for free. Professional costs $9.99, paid once for one PC, and Business costs $19.99, paid once for three PCs. The Professional trial has no time limit, but allows up to four added shortcuts and cannot remove or disable entries with submenus or images.
