About RCWM

RCWM is an open-source set of tools that adds and changes options in the Windows right-click (context) menu. It is aimed at administrators and power users. According to its homepage, the tools work through the Windows registry with help from batch and PowerShell scripts. The main focus is automating robocopy, a command-line file copy tool, so that copying and moving folders is faster and can select several folders at once.

The pack also covers a range of other shortcuts, including opening command prompt or PowerShell in a folder, running .ps1 scripts as administrator, taking ownership of files and folders, and removing selected default menu entries. It runs on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11. Some features may not work properly if the user running them does not have administrator privileges. The source describes some planned items as not yet done, so not every idea listed on the page is available.
