    Windows 7 x64 Context Menu Editing for Files AND Folders


    I am trying to remove several context menu items for some file types AND folders. I've noticed that the right-click context menus differ depending on the file type, and also the folder type, depending on what type of files are in the folder. I've search far and wide, and have not been able to find software that will let me edit the menus. I've tried ShellExView and ShellMenuView but they don't list any of the menu items I'm looking for. I've tried every other software I could find. Does anyone insight into this? Is it impossible to remove certain items?

    Thanks!

    Hello badadjective,

    What context menu items are you wanting to remove?

    For now, look under Context Menu...... in our tutorial index link below to see if any of the listed items may be what you are wanting to remove. :)

    Specifically, I am trying to remove some, but not all, Windows Media Player, VLC, and Winamp context menu items for some file types and folders. I use different media players for different things, so currently my context menus are crowded. Every piece of software I've tried doesn't show these entries. Thank you for the link, the guides do not address my specific problem, however.

    You might also check in the 3rd party program settings to see if there may be an option to remove them from the context menu.

Hello, Often times when I want to rename a file, I hit "delete" by mistake. I was wondering if there is a way to move the delete option up, so that it is not next to rename? I have tried a few context menu editors, but they do not seem to have rename or delete as options to play around with....

Hello Everybody; welcome to '15 and best wishes for a great new year. I've just spent about an hour searching the site (doesn't mean I looked in the right places of course) trying to find a straight-forward system to remove items (or add them I suppose) from the right click context menus. I must...
I know there's a context menu entry to show/hide hidden files. But is there one that makes/unmakes the file/folder hidden? Going to a file/folder's properties just to change it is a bit of a hassle (esp. on shortcut files). Just in case I wasn't clear (or my wording was a bit confusing),...
This is to do with the Taskbar Right-Click Context Menu and the submenu Toolbars. Here I created 2 new toolbars called ‘Desktop’, the second by accident, and I would like to remove one of them from the list so it's not duplicated there. I think it might be a matter of editing the entries...
