is a powerful tool designed to help you customize and extend the functionality of Windows File Explorer. With CBFS Shell, you can enhance the user experience by allowing them to interact with files and folders uniquely, add custom menus, create virtual folders, and modify visual elements like columns, toolbars, and icons. It’s a seamless way to provide additional functionality while keeping the File Explorer environment familiar.

What makes Callback Technologies CBFS Shell stand out is its stability.

This means you can confidently create rich, custom extensions using .NET code without worrying about causing instability in the system.

It offers flexibility in presenting information, creating virtual file structures, and supporting all standard user actions while keeping Windows File Explorer stable and responsive.
