Context Magic 1 build b5

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This simple utility presents you with additional choices alongside the standard Windows Send To menu option, though some publicized features aren't available. Negating an interface, you have to access the Context menu by right-clicking any file, folder, or desktop shortcut. You can quickly copy any file or folder and move it to the location of your choice with a few clicks, and open files with any user-specified program. Context Magic lets you e-mail files using its Internet Connection wizard, although you'll need to specify the incoming and outgoing server types. During our analysis, we could promptly create file, folder, and program shortcuts on the desktop, in our Favorites list, and on the Start menu. A customization feature is present, although it isn't available in this version, and, without a help file, its purpose is unclear. Though most of its features are already available, we think you'll appreciate the rapid accessibility this free program extends.
