Solved Context menu cleanup time!

great tips (Removing format from context menu)

If you know your way around ya MS keyboard (f2 rename, ctrl+x|c|v cut|copy|paste etc)... why not get rid of all them duplicate context menu entries?

You need to take ownership of shell32.dll.mui (in sys32\en-us). make a copy, and modify the copy with resource hacker. (I deleted each menu item, from menu > 210, leaving just the shortcut item)

Compile the changes, rename the original file, and paste the new copy of shell32.dll.mui to windows\system32\en-us

If you're on 64-bit, copy the new file to windows\syswow64\en-us also (after taking ownership and renaming the original).

The result?

(Current) new extended context

Useful MUI (Context shortcut key) Modifications

Hi guys, after some success with fixing "safely remove (system tray) context-menu entries (Eject)", I thought I'd see if I could sort some other "annoyances". Here's what I found

Close window/Close All windows (Taskbar jumplist)

(updated to allow keyboard shortcuts, ie
352, "&Close window"
353, "Close &all windows")

Pin/Unpin (Taskbar jumplist)

(updated, ie)
338, "&Pin this program to taskbar"
339, "&Unpin this program from taskbar"

Take ownership (\Windows\System32\en-US\explorer.exe.mui), compile and save (resourcehacker), restart explorer...

Now you can close an app / app group quickly (great if you don't have a middle mouse button or you're a context-menu-junkie : )
