Nimi Places vs Right Click Enhancer

Nimi Places organizes a Windows desktop into customizable containers that display files and folders from chosen locations as icons or thumbnails. Files stay in their original locations while the containers provide desktop access. Views include grids and single- or multi-column lists, with optional details. Items can be labeled, searched by name and sorted by type, size or dates. Containers can use individual item sizes, accent colors, themes and smooth scrolling. Rules can duplicate, move or link files and folders that match selected conditions, and containers can appear only under conditions such as time, location or foreground window title. Supported media can be previewed through a built-in multimedia front end. The application is free for non-commercial use under the Nimi projects general application license. It can run portably, including from removable storage, without installation on a specific computer. The Windows download is a multilingual installer with optional portable mode and a built-in uninstaller. The download page lists a requirement compatible with framework 2.0 or newer. Its license says personal data must not be used with the software and assigns users responsibility for information they choose to process.

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.
