KotaXor Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 It seem nowadays every program want a bit of your context menu. After installing programs, you find your context menu getting out of hand.Don't you find it irritating when you right-click an icon, a long list of items appear in the context menu?Some programs enable you to remove its content from the programs itself, most do not!So....how to remove unwanted items in Context Menu:Open 'regedit', go to:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlersHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlersHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlersHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlersRight-click on the relevant program key and Delete!The next time you open your Context Menu, irrelevant programs will not be there!Enjoy!

Bizarre™ Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 ShellExView v1.35Shell Extensions are in-process COM objects which extends the abilities of Windows operating system. Most shell extensions are automatically installed by the operating system, but there are also many other applications that install additional shell extension components. For example: If you install WinZip on your computer, you'll see a special WinZip menu when you right-click on a Zip file. This menu is created by adding a shell extension to the system.The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable each shell extension.Download:http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KotaXor Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi Bizarre™, Yeah, there are many programs which can be use for editing the Context Menu, such as CMenu and ContextMenuEditor. But something it is better to get down dirty and learn how to 'play' around your registry (after making backup, of course :D if you do not know what you are doing).For those who does not like to get dirty, google for CMenu or ContextMenuEditor (all freeware).

Bizarre™ Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 ShellExView v1.35is Freeware Yeah, there are many programs which can be use for editing the Context Menu, such as CMenu and ContextMenuEditor. But something it is better to get down dirty and learn how to 'play' around your registry (after making backup, of course :D if you do not know what you are doing).Been there, done that. ShellExView is perfect for beginners, since they can instantly go to regedit or simply choose disable.Some of the context menu resides in CLSID... we don't want beginners fiddling with that or they may end up with non-bootable OS.
