I found this program while surfing to internet...
ShellMenuView
Description

ShellMenuView is a small utility that display the list of static menu items that appeared in the context menu when you right-click a file/folder on Windows Explorer, and allows you to easily disable unwanted menu items.

System Requirements

ShellMenuView works properly on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003/2008, and Windows 7/Vista. You can also use ShellMenuView on Windows 98 for viewing the menu items list, but the disable/enable feature won't work on this version of Windows. (The disabling feature is achieved by adding 'LegacyDisable' key to the desired menu item in the Registry, and this Registry key is not supported by Windows 98)

It's working on Windows 7 x32 bit.

hi all this is a great program i have been using this for a while it helped me solve a issue of explorer.exe from freezing up by allowing me to disable context add ons in the explorer context, after finding two culprit programs all working fine now. this is a a good read to:ar:Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers

WinSize2 remembers window position/size

http://sourceforge.net/projects/winsize2/


WinSize2 is a free AutoHotKey program that remembers the active window size/position when you hit the hotkey. It uses window class name as well as title to recognize the window when it opens.

I'm trying it now on my Win7 PC. So far it seems to work as designed. It's useful for those programs that either open on the center of the desktop or just at any position and don't remember where you closed them.

The default is a 3 key hotkey but you can change it. I reset it to Alt Z just so I don't have to hold 2 keys down while pressing a 3rd. Once you save a window position, next time you open that window, if it's not at the saved spot, it's moved immediately.

I haven't tried anything yet involving resizing. But setting the position seems to work well.

The AHK script source is included in the download. It looks nicely done with a tabbed settings dialog.

HSF-HTTP File Server is 32 bit compatible only, not for x64. I found the website hostile in that it shut down my Win 7 x64 computer which is the very first time this has happened on any web page I've visited.

I didn't say that it would. All I said was that when I visited the site it was malicious enough to give my 5 month old Win 7 x64 computer its very first BSOD and I thought that it would be irresponsible if I didn't at least mention it here.

I'm no expert, but a BSOD from a website is a new one to me.

During the few seconds before the HSF-HTTP File Server site BSOD'd my Win 7 x64 computer I did read that the program is 32 bit compatible only.

i found this today "Disk space fan", excellent!

Great find! I really tlike his, makes things easy. Shows used space in a very visual, clear way. Howering mouse over segments shows full information on that segment. Clicking a segment takes you deeper to your disk, revealing wght that segment includes.





Easy to use and understand, easy interface, visually nice looking, does what it promises.

You should upload the dump file and let one of the BSOD team analyze it.
