Context Menu Freeware…

The first one I use regularly is Firmtools Shellextension. It offers a thumbnail preview of many popular image formats. In addition to that, it gives the chance for quick image conversion and printing. It’s been useful for me.

If you want the same functionality for AutoCAD files, you download AutoCAD PVI Extension.
It’s just the thumbnail preview, no printing or any other functions, but I’m looking forward to an update to this.

Third up for context menu, is a very quick and handy utility to upload images to image hosting sites: Tinypic, Imageshack, and Messyshare. With Tinypic Uploader, just right click on an image and select the service you want to upload the image to. You get a direct link you can copy to clipboard. This is excellent to share images for blogs, forums, etc. It also offers various types of screencapture with direct uploading features. Plus, you can batch upload images as well!
