Context Menu Create Shortcut I have ran out of places to look. I have revamped my right click context menu to the way I need it but have one issue I cannot find registry solution for. I need "create shortcut" removed from the context menu. Cannot find anything in the registry for this. Any ideas? | My System Specs |

Already checked #9. It removes the create shortcut from the right click "new" context menu but not from the primary right click context menu you get when you right click on a desktop icon or on a folder. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Computer by ME OS Windows 7 Pro 64 bit CPU Intel i7-2600k 3.06 GHz Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3 Memory 16 GB GSkill F3-10666CL7Q Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB 256-b Sound Card onboard for now Monitor(s) Displays Dual AOC 2770VH1 Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech K120 Mouse Logitech Trackball T-BC21 PSU Antec EarthWatts EA750 Case Antec Sonata Elite Cooling 120 mm Antec System Fan & 120 Antec rear exhaust fan Hard Drives 2 - Muskin Chronos Deluxe 120 GB SSD

Refer back to my #3 reply. Does not remove "Create Shortcut" from main context menu. Only removes it from send to menu. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Computer by ME OS Windows 7 Pro 64 bit CPU Intel i7-2600k 3.06 GHz Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3 Memory 16 GB GSkill F3-10666CL7Q Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB 256-b Sound Card onboard for now Monitor(s) Displays Dual AOC 2770VH1 Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech K120 Mouse Logitech Trackball T-BC21 PSU Antec EarthWatts EA750 Case Antec Sonata Elite Cooling 120 mm Antec System Fan & 120 Antec rear exhaust fan Hard Drives 2 - Muskin Chronos Deluxe 120 GB SSD

Not that knowledgeable on regedit  but Resource hacker can do it .
Here is a similar discussion : Remove "Create Shortcut" from file and folder context menu? . | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Assembled OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit SP 1 CPU Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Arc, followed the directions on using Resource Hacker and Windows 7 file replacer which did alter the shell32.dll.mui but did not resolve the problem.
I restored then took ownership and permissions of the pertaining folders and files. Using Resource Hacker, I removed "MENUITEM "Create &shortcut", 28688, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED", backspaced once to eliminate the blank line then complied script. Xd out of everything and rebooted. Using Resource Hacker, I verified that the above line was gone and it is.
216 MENUEX
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
POPUP "", 32768, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0
{
MENUITEM "&Delete", 28689, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
MENUITEM "Rena&me", 28690, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
MENUITEM "P&roperties", 28691, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
} However, the "create shortcut" is still present in the context menu so this did not resolve my issue. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Computer by ME OS Windows 7 Pro 64 bit CPU Intel i7-2600k 3.06 GHz Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3 Memory 16 GB GSkill F3-10666CL7Q Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB 256-b Sound Card onboard for now Monitor(s) Displays Dual AOC 2770VH1 Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech K120 Mouse Logitech Trackball T-BC21 PSU Antec EarthWatts EA750 Case Antec Sonata Elite Cooling 120 mm Antec System Fan & 120 Antec rear exhaust fan Hard Drives 2 - Muskin Chronos Deluxe 120 GB SSD

Maybe I am taking you literally , but as you said, after compiling script, you are to save it on your desktop as shell32.dll.mui . Now you are to replace it in the en-US folder in SysWOW64 folder , and then reboot .
Is it what you have done ? | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Assembled OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit SP 1 CPU Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

That is what I done when I used the Resource Hacker and Windows 7 file replacer, saved it to desktop then use Windows 7 File replacer to replace it. Did not solve the problem. So I then went the direct route, made the changes to the file, compiled it and saved it the en-US folder. Did not save it to desktop as changes can be done and saved without ever leaving Resource Hacker but only if you have taken ownership and set permissions on the folder/file. However, this did not resolve the issue either. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Computer by ME OS Windows 7 Pro 64 bit CPU Intel i7-2600k 3.06 GHz Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3 Memory 16 GB GSkill F3-10666CL7Q Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB 256-b Sound Card onboard for now Monitor(s) Displays Dual AOC 2770VH1 Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech K120 Mouse Logitech Trackball T-BC21 PSU Antec EarthWatts EA750 Case Antec Sonata Elite Cooling 120 mm Antec System Fan & 120 Antec rear exhaust fan Hard Drives 2 - Muskin Chronos Deluxe 120 GB SSD
