Kid: But what if they don't know what I'm saying?
Mom: Don't worry. In Canada they speak English.
Kid, crying: But I don't speak English! I speak American!

This is how it looks when you right click a file depending on how you set it up.

This is one of the niftiest programmes I have ever had the pleasure to have used. It does so many useful things that windows should have done to start with. I have had at least 4 programmes installed to all do different jobs whereas this one can do the lot. I have used PrintFolder, JSplit, FileNote and ClipboardPath
