Editing The Right Click Menu

When you install any software then they add themselves to the right click menu. This slows down the system as well, as it needs to get all the files ready when you right click. Especially the software like WinRar, which add lots of option to your Right Click menu. We don’t require all, and we require some options for some kind of files, so we can remove many options to make our menu open faster. This can be done through Registry editing. Here is the Registry Setting.
  1. 1. Go to Run and type in Regedit.
  2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers, This is the where programs attach to right click menu, This is a universal right click. To make the specific right clicks, you need to go to specific type of file in this section.
  3. You simply delete the keys you do not want.

This is one of the ways to edit the Right Click Menu. Another way to do this is to use editing software with which things can be done with much ease and in detailed manner. File Menu Tools is a tool which will do this for you.




Through this software you can add more options provided by the software, and you can remove the contents you want. The only thing is that you should know which files to look for and editing which file will make the correct changes. It also allows you do edit the “Send To” menu.
Do try this software and customize your Right Click Menu according to your needs.
