Context Menu Editor can view and delete links to programs in the context menus (the popup menus you see when you right-click) of files, folders and Internet Explorer.Context Menu Editor does not delete the programs, it just removes them from your menus. Menu deletions cannot be undone so please use with care - you may need to reinstall your software if you want them back.
Context menu Manager allows you to quickly and easily Deactivate and Activate context menu elements. Context Menu manager allows you to manage context menus created with a right mouse click in Windows Explorer and on the desktop. In the past, if you installed a program that added entries to your context menu the only way top have them not show up was to uninstall the package.
Every program these days seem to put an extra item or 2 in your context-menu. It is all under the guise of being helpful, but often it is to get the company name (or product name) in the menu. They see it as a place to advertise. And of course it is difficult or impossible to remove these items in an easy way.
Is there a possibility to change the right-click menu on the "Windows icon"? I would like to replace default Windows PowerShell and Windows PowerShell (Administrator) with windows terminal. Does anyone made a similar modification?
Any setting that I could change to make odrive appear on windows 11 context menu. Or I have to stop using odrive on windows 11 until the developer add compatibility for windows 11 context menu? I saw that winrar has add the context menu for windows 11 in its new beta 6.10. Hope that odrive will add it soon
Beside that I think developer is a bit slow to address some user feedback. To me it make the software gos backward a little bit compare to fast growth of the other competitor. This feedback I summit is long time ago but still has no fix today. But now the new issue occur is context menu for windows 11

as the title says, i'm looking for a simple file explorer alternative with NO panes or tabs. i'm not interested in debating the merits of either, and would love to see the functionality of the windows 10 context menu again.
when you right-click on the desktop (or folder, file, etc) the context menu entries that appear are either statically generated or dynamically generated via a loaded DLL that implements specific interfaces. read more about the differences between static entries and dynamic ones here.
I just bought a new computer and decided to fully customize my windows context menu.Basically, this question asks about complete control over your windows context menus, even the dynamic ones, and even the built-in ones(if possible).
However, seems that that story does not end here, after disabling all static and dynamic entries for context directory there are still entries in the context menu. how do I revel which DLL loaded them?
I have recently re-done my Computer and i finished setting up the sqf language for notepad++, etc etc etc, but i am kinda stuck on PBO Manager 1.4. I allways used this before and it allways added context menu entries (right click pbo, unpack) - but this time it didn't. I tried installed both 32 and 64x Versions, also tried installing both versions for only me and for all users, with no difference.
Can anybody send me a copy of the registry entries please and where to paste them? Or just a solution ^^
Unfortunately, the file context menu items "Scan" and "Shred" do not appear in Directory Opus; only in Explorer. I contacted the Directory Opus support and they believe that McAfee Total Protection is only exposing the context menus to explorer.exe and not to any other app.
Well, from a end-user/UI perspective, it certainly seems as if it is not due to McAfee, since I tested other File Managers and they all display the context menus when you right-click. However, it could be a technical/programmatic issue (e.g., in the way that McAfee implemented the context menu framework exposure to the Windows Shell). Still, to me, the fact that other apps see the items no problem doesn't make me believe that it's a McAfee problem.
You should not create a CContextMenuManager object manually. The framework of your application creates the CContextMenuManager object. However, you should call CWinAppEx::InitContextMenuManager when your application is initialized. After initializing the context manager, use the method CWinAppEx::GetContextMenuManager to obtain a pointer to the context manager for your application.
In most cases, you should not create a CContextMenuManager manually. The framework of your application creates the CContextMenuManager object.

Context Menu Manager is a free (well, ad-sponsored) portable program to help you browse your current file associations, view their context menus, clean up broken entries, and maybe add a few new right-click options to get your system working better.
Context Menu Manager also supports various ways to customise your right-click menus with useful options. You might extend the My Computer context menu with items to launch various system tools, restart Explorer, maybe restart your entire PC after a defined time. You can enable the Copy To or Move To functions, add entries to register/ unregister DLLs, launch programs with higher priorities, perhaps create a list based on the contents of a folder.
Microsoft, today, has released the newest build to Windows 11 Dev channel Insiders. The new build, 23560, brings Copilot, fixes bugs in the File Explorer context menu and dropdowns, boosts Task Manager performance, and more. The full changelog is given below:
The menu that appears when you click on a shortcut, an icon, or an element of the Windows interface is called the context menu. It's called this because the options you see contained within this menu are contextual and not always the same. Right click on the Start button, and you will see different options than if you right click on a Microsoft Word document, for example.
But even though the very idea of a Windows 10 context menu is to provide you with options that are applicable to the item you've right-clicked on, you may feel that there are some options missing. Conversely, there may be options listed that you never use and you would like to get rid of in the name of keeping things streamlined.
Here we're going to look at both of these scenarios as we show you have to tweak the context menu to your liking. With tweaking and customization remaining as popular as ever with Windows users, you'll probably not be surprised to learn that there are numerous apps that can be used to customize things.
If your context menu is littered with shortcuts and entries for programs that you no longer have installed, or that you simply do not use, Easy Context Menu can be used to get rid of them. Start by either clicking the fourth toolbar button (depicting a mouse and a broom), or click File > ContextMenu Cleaner.
There are lots of pre-configured menu entries for you to work through here, and adding them to your context menu is a simple matter of ticking the relevant check box. You will notice that the various options are broken down into numerous categories, such as System Tools and so on, and these will be included any time you right click on anything. There are other options which appear under the headings Folder Context Menu, File Context Menu, and so on, that will only appear when you right click on certain objects. For instance, it makes sense to only display the Open With Notepad option on files and not folders.
With the potential for things to go wrong, and the awkwardness of adding new entries, editing the context menu via the registry isn't something that everyone will be comfortable with. It's fine for quickly removing entries without the need for additional software, but for anything more advanced it is a good idea to turn to the likes of Easy Context Menu.
Context Menu Manager is an Open Source application that allows you to manage the right-click context menu with ease. With Context Menu Manager you can Enable and disable context menu options for files, folders, submenus, Internet Explorer and Win+X. It also allows you to modify menu names/icons, remove context menu items, navigate menus in the registry or File Explorer, and add custom menu items and commands. Easy-to-navigate interface; Selection can be made from the menu on the left.
It even has a Context Menu Cleaner to remove useless entries from the right-click context menu, often added by installed software. Not that it matters much in Windows 11 since Microsoft has already cleaned it up.
That being said, people familiar with registry editing will find that to be the most flexible method of customizing the context menu. Besides enabling the Windows 10 menu, you can also add shortcuts to other apps with a few well-placed keys.
Left unchecked, it won't take long for the Windows context menu to become cluttered. Having too many items on the right click menus can be particularly annoying because you can't use the mouse to scroll through, you have to click on the arrows at the top and bottom of the list, and we bet there's at least one program on your context menus that you never use.
Conversely, managing the context menu to work in your advantage can be a rewarding tweak to your operating system, or at the very least getting rid of the useless things that third party apps might have added there.
Although we didn't cover any methods for putting it on any context menus at the time, adding a shortcut to empty the Recycle Bin when you right click your desktop would make it the most accessible without the icon actually being on your desktop.
You can configure context menus to appear on the left or right side of where you click without any additional software. Open a Run prompt and enter shell:::80F3F1D5-FECA-45F3-BC32-752C152E456E to launch Tablet PC Settings. Head to the "Other" tab for "handedness" settings.
