With the release of Windows 7, the ability to change the right click functionality got more difficult. This can be done by editing the Windows Registry (and can be considered for advanced Windows users, the method is outlined on the TUFLOW forums [http://www.tuflow.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=764 here].<br>
== FileMenu Tools
The following method is much much easier, but involves a free utility called '''FileMenu Tools''' the is available for download at [http://www.lopesoft.com/en/filemenutools/download http://www.lopesoft.com/en/filemenutools/download]. This tool can also be configured for post-processing of TUFLOW output files.<.br>
'''Note''' A word of caution, be careful with the installation dialogues as this may try to install additional software.

==Other Filemenu Tools tasks==
Another example of FileMenu Tools could be to convert between .flt and .asc grids or vice versa. To do this:
# Enter a ''Description'' (e.g Convert format using asc_to_asc)
# Under ''Element Types'', set ''Files'' to '''Yes'''
# Under ''Element Types'', set ''Extensions'' to '''flt,asc''' (this is available to both .asc and .flt files)
# Under ''Element Types'', set both ''Folders'' and ''Drives'' to '''No'''
# Under ''Program Properties'' set the ''Program'' to the full path to the asc_to_asc utility. For my machine this is: "C:\TUFLOW\Utilities\w64\asc_to_asc_w64.exe"
# Under ''Program Properties'' set the ''Arguments'' field to '''-conv %FILENAMES%'''
# Select Apply and exit the configuration.<br>

Another example of FileMenu Tools could be to convert the maximum velocities from an .xmdf file to a .mif file. This would look like the configuration below:<br>
