Rightload Uploads To Flickr, Imageshack, Rapidshare And More

2:00AM Lifehacker US Edition | Windows only: Tiny utility Rightload makes short work of uploading files to almost any server, whether you have your own FTP or just want to quickly send images to Flickr. Once installed, take a trip over to Tools -> Manage Servers to configure your accounts. Rightload supports FTP, SFTP and Flickr out of the box, but you can get more plugins from the download page, including Imageshack, Rapidshare, and Tinypic. After configuring, you can upload files by dragging them into the window, or simply use the Rightload options from the context menu—once the files are uploaded it can even generate links or image tags. The context menu options don’t work in Vista 64-bit, but they have a set of Send To shortcuts for you that do the same thing. Rightload has been around a while, but they’ve recently added support for HTTP upload sites and custom plugins, making this a must-have utility for anybody sharing files online with friends or embedding images into a forum. Rightload is a free download for Windows only. For more on powering up your context menu, be sure and check out our top 10 right-click tools. Rightload More »

Open++ Adds Anything You Want To Your Right-Click Menu

9:00AM Adam Pash | Windows only: Free utility Open++ adds a new submenu to your right-click context menu with advanced options for adding virtually any function you could want. Rather than add a bunch of its own custom commands (though it does have a few handy defaults, like Copy Path), Open++ provides a versatile utility for adding your own functions. You can launch files, folders, or applications complete with special arguments, a user-defined working directory, custom icons, and even custom file associations (so the command only shows up when you right-click a certain file type). Open++ is a free download, Windows only. Open++ [via FreewareGenius]Open++ Download Page [Tucows]

WinFlog Extreme Toggles Aero And More Via Right-Click

9:28AM Adam Pash | Windows only: Free application WinFlog Extreme adds several handy shortcuts to your right-click context menus with a Vista-specific twist. For example, with WinFlog you can toggle Aero with a quick couple of clicks, turn on Flip 3D, or perform more basic operations like turning off your monitor or ejecting your disc tray. Although the app is very Vista-specific, it does work on XP—but it’s not like you’ve got any Aero interface to toggle in the first place. For Vista users, the option to quickly toggle Aero is a great feature when you’re looking to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of your PC. WinFlog Extreme is a free download, Windows only.

Attribute Changer Gives You Total File Control

10:30PM Kevin Purdy | Windows only: Attribute Changer, a free right-click utility, gives you total control over everything reported by a file to your system. Right-click one or many files and choose “Change Attributes,” and you can enable or disable read-only status, hiding, indexing, and even NTFS compression. You can change the file’s date of creation, modification and last access, and tweak a photo’s time of taking. Great for those files that get erroneously labelled as made on Jan. 1, 1969, and always get lost in searches, or fixing date issues with a photo collection. Attribute Changer is a free download for Windows systems only. Attribute Changer [Romain Petges via gHacks] More »

Moo0 RightClicker Adds Key Features to Windows’ Right-Click Menu

10:00PM Kevin Purdy | Windows only: Free right-click enhancer Moo0 RightClicker adds contextual images and a host of useful features to your standard right-click menu in Windows. Copying and moving files and folders to bookmarked or standard system folders is made easy with quick-collapsing menus. Perma-deleting items (as opposed to merely “recycling” them) is added to your options, and intelligent copying—the name, path, or contents of an actual file—is a nice touch. Best of all, Moo0 doesn’t eliminate any customisations you’ve already made, and lets you customise what you see on right-clicking, so it works nicely with any other utilities you may have installed. Moo0 RightClicker is a free download for Windows systems only. Moo0 RightClicker [via gHacks] More »
