'Graphic Shell Extension', and '20 Secret Tweaks'

Graphic Shell Extension

This is a very handy application that extends Windows Explorer User Interface with 3 useful commands for graphic files. ShellExtension adds an option to context menu that allows you to view a thumbnail of an image, convert it to any of supported formats and print them. (Note -- we had a lot of trouble making the conversion work until I looked at the FAQ on the site It does work. You just have to give the file a new name apparently).
