ShellExView

This is a software that lets you view detailed information about shell extensions on your PC. It also makes it easy for you to enable and disable these shell extensions. This gives you more management over the shell extensions as well as important information about them. Shell extensions are in-process COM objects that add items to the Explorer context menu, property sheets, icon overlays and other parts of the Windows shell. Most of them are installed automatically by Windows and by applications such as archivers or cloud storage clients, and a faulty one can slow down or crash Explorer. That's where ShellExView comes in. It shows the name, type, description, version, product, company, file and CLSID of every extension and lets you switch any of them off without editing the registry. ShellExView is a free NirSoft utility.

Features:

• Make it simple to enable or disable one or several shell extensions on your PC, and every change can be undone at any time.
• It works on almost all versions of Windows, from Windows 98 up to Windows 10, with a separate build for 64-bit systems.
• It can be used to find the extension behind Explorer crashes, freezes or slow right-click menus by disabling extensions one by one.
• It can save the list of extensions to text, HTML or XML files and copy selected items to the clipboard.
• ShellExView is a stand-alone program, which means that there is nothing to install. You just run the EXE program.
• Perfect for solving context menu problems in an Explorer Environment on your PC.

It lets you quickly find and disable problematic shell extensions that slow down or crash Windows Explorer.

In a world where not everyone knows how to find shell extensions in the registry or how to enable or disable them, ShellExView takes these problems and simplifies them. Non-Microsoft extensions can be highlighted in color and Microsoft ones hidden, so third-party components are easy to spot. If you are having issues in an Explorer environment, then ShellExView may be the answer you are looking for.
