    Change order of Context Menu entries for folders or files


    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. Please see attached.

    Thanks!

    Sorry, I can only suggest a workaround. Instead of Rename, I always select the last item in the list, Properties. I use this to rename.

    Thank you for the suggestion. I may have to give that a shot. Still, I am looking for a registry edit that would allow me to rearrange the order of the listed options. Hopefully someone has figured this out and will share.
