Windows right click context menu editor

The Right Click Menu or the Context Menu is the menu, which appears when you right-click on the desktop or a file or folder in Windows. This menu gives you added functionality by offering you actions you can take with the item. Most programs like to stuff their commands in this menu. While they can be useful, the problem is that even when you uninstall the programs, they fail to remove the respective context menu item, making the menu slow and appear cluttered. Context Menu Editors can help you manage your right-click context menu items in Windows 11/10/8/7.

If you wish to reduce this clutter or remove items from this menu which are no longer useful, you can do so. Most programs will offer the explorer integration in their Settings, and if you look around, you may be able to find it and disable the File Explorer context menu integration. If not, you will have to edit the registry or use a third-party freeware.

Using Registry Editor

Run regedit to open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellexContextMenuHandlers

Here you need to simply delete the keys you don’t want. There are other registry locations too where this data may be stored.

Do let us know, how you manage to keep your Explorer right-click context menu clean and tidy!

While the right-click context menu on Windows 10 is very handy as it lets us access the quick actions contextually. Some programs add more items to the context menu and make it cluttered. Fortunately, it’s easy to remove or add a program and edit the right-click context menu on Windows 10 via the Registry editor and context menu customizer programs like Nirsoft ShellMenuView, Easy Context Menu, Context Menu Tuner, and CCleaner.

All operating systems support the context menu feature as it’s an essential tool that offers relevant options based on file types and programs. The longer the context menu is, the more time-taking and confusing it becomes. Therefore it’s a good idea to clean the Windows context menu for a better experience. As you can see below, the context menu for a folder with images on my PC has 28 items most of which (the highlighted ones) I probably never use.

If you are not comfortable with right-click, there’s a way to swap the left and right mouse buttons’ functions on Windows.

While I feel like getting rid of useless shortcuts, there are some missing items I would like to add to it. In this tutorial, we’ll see how we can edit and add a program to the right-click context menu on Windows 7, 8, and 10. I remember using tools like Ultimate Windows Context Menu Customizer and Windows Context Menu Manager years ago but these programs and no more available.

It’s very easy to edit the right-click context menu on Windows 10 using a program. However, if you don’t want to install a third-party app, you can easily remove unwanted items from the Windows context menu by editing the Registry. Windows Registry Editor is a powerful tool that can add do a lot of things such as:

• Disable automatic driver update
• Add ‘Copy to’ and ‘Move to’ shortcuts  in the context menu
• Disable Guest Mode in Chrome browser
• Schedule automatic restore point

Besides being powerful, Regedit is also a very sensitive thing, and therefore, it needs to be used carefully. To avoid any troubles, it’s advisable that you create a system restore point or backup your PC.

1. Click on the Search icon on the Taskbar and type ‘regedit‘ or ‘registry editor‘ and launch it.
2. Please note that all items present in the context menu of your Windows PC are not found in the same location in the Registry Editor. You’ll have to explore the different subfolders and files inside the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT directory.

While you can find many of the context menu items in the ContextMenuHandlers directory, you need to look for others on the following paths in the Registry Editor. You can either navigate to the keys mentioned below or just copy and paste them in the address bar.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellexContextMenuHandlers

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shell

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTAllFileSystemObjectsShellEx

To find the folder-related context menu items in the following locations:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshell

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellexContextMenuHandlers

Once you have found the desired key for the context menu item you want to remove, you can either delete it or edit it. Please note that if you delete the folder that contains the key, you won’t be able to restore that context menu item. That’s why you should back up the item/s before deleting.

There’re 3 methods to get rid of any unwanted context menu item by removing a Shell item using the Registry Editor.

1. Delete the context menu item key.
2. Add the ‘LegacyDisable‘ string value.
3. Create the ‘Extended‘ string value.

You can remove a right-click context menu item on Windows by adding a new string value file called LegacyDisable as well. For instance, if you use the VLC media player and want to remove ‘Add to VLC media player’s Playlist‘ from the right-click menu, navigate to AddtoPlaylistVLC or paste the following path in the Registry Editor’s address bar:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellAddtoPlaylistVLC

Select AddToPlaylistVLC in the left pane of the window. Now, perform a right-click in the right pane and select New > String Value.

Rename ‘New Value #1‘ to ‘LegacyDisable‘.

That’s it! You have successfully removed ‘Add to VLC media player’s Playlist‘ option from the context menu. You can try this method to delete other items from the context menu as well. Should you ever feel the urge to restore the removed item, just delete the ‘LegacyDisable’ file.

Finally, here is my favorite way. If there is a context menu shortcut that you don’t use very often, you can remove it from your right-click context menu while still use it. This method works very much like the Shift + Right-click shortcut used to make the Copy as path option appear in the context menu.

Suppose you want to remove the ‘Add to VLC media player’s Playlist‘ (or any other) shortcut from your context menu and want it to be available at your behest, here’s what you need to do. Go to AddtoPlaylistVLC, create a new string value ( New > String Value) and rename ‘New Value #1‘ to ‘Extended‘.

Now, you’ll see the ‘Add to VLC media player’s Playlist‘ item in the context menu of your PC only when you press the Shift + Right-click buttons.

The method to remove a Shellex item from the right-click context menu on Windows is a bit different. Below is an example showing how I removed the Google Drive sync shortcut from the right-click context menu via Shellex.

1. Navigate to shellex > ContextMenuHandlers in the Registry Editor and select GDContextMenu. Alternatively, you can paste the following path into the address bar.

   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellexContextMenuHandlersGDContextMenu

2. Right-click on the (Default) file and select the Modify… option.
3. Now, click in the Value data box and add a dash or minus (–) or any sign before it. The value data is should look like ‘–{BB02B294-8425-42E5-983F-41A1FA970CD6}‘.
4. Click on the OK button to save the changes.

That’s it! The Google Drive file sync shortcut should have disappeared from the right-click context menu on your Windows PC. You can revert the changes anytime later by removing the minus sign you added.

If you find the Registry Editor methods described above too geeky or complicated, there are some programs that can remove or add a program to the right-click menu 0n Windows 10 and older. I tested several context menu customizers that can easily add or remove any item for you.

Easy Context Menu is probably the most user-friendly program to customize the Windows 10 context menu. It lets you customize the right-click context menu for Desktop, My Computer, Tools, System Tools, Drives, Folders, Files, EXE, Power options, and more. Easy Context Menu is compatible with the 34-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. You can download this portable tool from the official website.

If you want to add new items to your context menu, launch Easy Context Menu. Select the items you wish to add to the context menu and then, click the Mouse icon with a Plus (+) sign to save the changes. As you can see below, I created a new System Tools context menu item that contains several options.

Easy Context Menu gives you the exact name for the context menu shortcuts. It’s really a great thing as you know which item are you going to remove without any confusion. Click on the ContextMenu Cleaner icon after launching Easy Context Menu.

When the ContextMenu Cleaner window pops up, select the items you want to remove and click the Refresh button on the right pane.

ShellMenuView and ShellExView from Nirsoft are nifty tools to edit the context menu on Windows. While the first utility handles shell items, the second one takes care of the shellex items.

Extract the shmnview.zip and double-click shmnview.exe to launch the program. Now, select the context menu item you want to remove or add. Click the Disable or Red light button to remove and the Enable or Greenlight button to add an item. Alternatively, you can right-click after selecting the items and choose Enable/Disable Selected items option.

ShellExView

If you couldn’t get rid of all undesired items in your right-click context menu using ShellMenuView, you should be able to disable them with ShellExView. It’s a very lightweight utility that works with all versions of Windows (32-bit and 64-bit editions).

Just launch the program by clicking the shexview.exe and select the items you want to remove or add to the context menu and select Disable or Enable Selected Items.

Context Menu Tuner is another useful utility that you should check out if you want to customize the context menu on Windows 8,/8.1, and Windows 10. It can add context menu options or commands for files, Windows File Explorer, folders, desktop, local disk, and library.

Download Context Menu Tuner from Winaero and extract the downloaded cmt.zip. Double-click ContextMenuTuner.exe to launch the tool.

1. In the right pane, select the destination to which you want to add a context menu item.
2. Now navigate through the left pane to find the command you want to add.
3. Click on Add >> and select either Add to selected item or Add to specific file type depending on your need.
4. Finally, customize the Menu Item Options.

   

   Context Menu Tuner set up

As you can see in the screenshot, I have added the Copy file path command for all file types on my PC. Context Menu Tuner is a must-have tool if you want to add a program to the right-click menu on Windows 10.

If you are not happy with the Windows context menu editors listed above, there are some more tools that you might try. While FileMenu Tools is good enough, Right Click Enhancer is a paid utility that is available for a free trial. As for CCleaner, it’s not a dedicated context menu customizer. However, you can still use it to edit the right-click context menu by navigating to Tools > Startup > Context Menu.

• File Menu Tools
• Right Click Enhancer
• CCleaner

Whether you use the Registry Editor or a tool, it’s very easy to edit the context menu on Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. Easy Context Menu is my go-to program for making changes to the context menu. Which tool do you prefer? Do let me know via comments.

Если оставить всё как есть, контекстные меню в системе Windows быстро становятся переполненными. Когда в меню при нажатии правой кнопкой мыши слишком много объектов, через которые нельзя прокручивать колесом мыши, приходится нажимать на стрелки наверху и внизу, что неудобно.

При этом, наверняка, в контекстном меню есть по меньшей мере одна программа, которую вы никогда не используете.

Вы можете настроить контекстное меню по своему усмотрению, избавившись от ненужных добавленных сторонними приложениями команд. Различные инструменты упрощают процесс добавления команд в часто используемое программное обеспечение, утилиты и т.д.

Microsoft даёт возможность получить быстрый доступ к разным панелям управления и местоположениям, нажав правой кнопкой мыши на меню «Пуск» или используя сочетание клавиш Windows + X. При этом в контекстных меню не хватает множества полезных команд.

Например, не помешала бы возможность очищать корзину на рабочем столе Windows при помощи контекстных меню из любого места системы. Добавление команды очистки корзины при нажатии правой кнопкой мыши по рабочему столу позволит обойтись без использования иконки корзины.

Другие идеи для добавления в контекстное меню Windows:

• Командная строка с правами администратора
• Возможность подтверждать владение файлами и папками
• Команды для перезагрузки, выключения и спящего режима
• Ускорение доступа к инструментам вроде «Очистка системы», «Восстановление системы» и тому подобным, которые обычно находятся глубоко внутри меню

Утилита «Управление компьютером» в Windows даёт доступ к менеджеру диска операционной системы, диспетчеру устройств, монитору производительности, планировщику задач, просмотрщику событий, сервисам и т.д. в одном месте. Удобно было бы добавить её в контекстное меню.

Нужно иметь в виду, что многие инструменты контекстного меню правильно работают только при запуске с правами администратора.

Такой вариант запуска должен быть доступен в тот момент, когда вы правой кнопкой мыши щёлкните на исполняемый файл. Также вы можете кликнуть на программу, удерживая на клавиатуре Control и Shift.

Добавление и удаление объектов в контекстное меню

Если вы хотите удалить из меню только один объект, лучше делать это при помощи возможностей самой системы.

Другим наиболее быстрым способом является утилита CCleaner (Инструменты > Запуск> Контекстное меню), хотя во время тестирования здесь не было полного списка программного обеспечения из контекстного меню. Рекомендуется использовать эту портативную версию предложения, которую можно быстро удалить.

Glary Utilities предлагает похожий уровень функциональности с более удобным интерфейсом, но программа бесплатная только поначалу.

Бонус

Можно выбрать, будет появляться контекстное меню слева или справа от указателя мыши. Откройте диалоговое окно «Выполнить» и введите для запуска окна «Параметры планшетного компьютера»:

shell:::{80F3F1D5-FECA-45F3-BC32-752C152E456E} 

Откройте вкладку «Другие» для выбора стороны отображения меню.

Другие инструменты

Easy Context Menu

Простой интерфейс, пусть и не самый современный. Он включает в себя ряд уникальных настроек меню, вроде возможности блокировать ввод с клавиатуры и мыши, перезапускать проводник, копировать IP-адрес и опустошать корзину.

А также здесь можно открывать окно «Выполнить», редактор реестра, сервисы, Msconfig.

Есть также секции редактирования контекстного меню файлов, исполняемых файлов, дисков, поддержка создания кастомных меню по нажатию на кнопку «Редактор списка команд». Раздел  «Чистка контекстного меню»позволяет легко удалить нежелательные команды.

Отображается полный список без лишнего мусора и можно легко включать и отключать объекты.

Скачать

Filemenu Tools

У этого приложения опций больше всего из протестированных программ и самый проработанный интерфейс. Это может понравиться продвинутым пользователям или тем, кто готов учиться.

Скачать

Right Click Enhancer

У бесплатной версии этого приложения функциональность ограниченная, много ненужных инструментов, вроде менеджера расширений файлов, переименования файлов. В платной версии за $9,99 функциональные возможности более обширные, можно добавлять ярлыки, подменю, убирать объекты.

Есть проблемы с сохранением состояния настроек, но иногда такое бывает и в Easy Context Menu.

Скачать

Использование реестра Windows

Можно добавлять или удалять объекты из контекстного меню через реестр Windows. Это самый удобный и надёжный способ по сравнению с рекомендованными выше инструментами.

Для начала запустите редактор реестра Windows при помощи сочетания клавиш Windows + R и введите regedit.

Откройте ComputerHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shell and ComputerHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellex для поиска объектов контекстного меню и удалите ненужные.

Примечание: рекомендуется сделать резервную копию реестра (Файл > Экспорт > Сохранить файл). Нажмите «Импортировать» для восстановления сохранённого файла.

Final Words: Customize Windows Context Menu With Ease

If you wish to declutter and clean your Context Menu, then the above tools will help you perform your job in a hassle-free manner. Refer to our details rundown of best Context Menu editors to delete and disable unwanted functions form your Windows and enhance its overall performance.

If you don’t know what it is, the right click context menu in Windows is simply the menu that pops up whenever you right click your mouse or touch pad button. This menu contains a number of important and convenient Windows functions such as deleting or renaming a folder / file, creating shortcuts, creating a new empty file, running a program as administrator and much more. This menu is also used by software applications to allow quick access to options such as (un)archiving files, running virus scans, editing files etc.

Although it can be a great source for performing actions quickly, the context menu can also become a source of frustration because sometimes programs will install themselves onto the menu when you don’t really want them there. It’s not uncommon either for some software to leave behind a context menu entry after it’s been uninstalled. If left unattended, the menu can become quite long and look rather messy with many useless entries doing nothing but taking up space.

Some applications will help you out a bit by offering to cascade multiple entries into a sub menu which can help, but some software simply doesn’t give you an option to not have an item in the context menu. The good news is you can remove the items that you don’t want or use from the right click context menu by using a third party tool to remove or temporarily disable them from appearing.

Here’s a selection of 7 free tools to help you clean up you context menus and bring a bit of order to your right clicks.

1. ShellMenuView

ShellMenuView is another one of Nir Sofer’s useful little tools, and this one is able to display the static context menu entries that are assigned to a specific file type or extension. For example, standard Image and Office DOC / XLS types are found here where you can right click on them and select Edit, or perhaps you have Imgburn and the “Burn with Imgburn” entries from your context menu can be found here also.

You’re not able to completely delete any of the entries, but they can be disabled by using F7 / F8 hotkeys, the context menu or the red and green toolbar icons. There’s a useful function called Extended Mode where you can hide the entry from the standard right click, but allow it to be shown if you press Shift while right clicking. Office uses this to show the Open as Read Only options when you Shift+right click on one of its files.

If you press F9 while highlighting a file you will be taken to Nirsoft’s file extension information website where you will get a list of files that can use the extension and some information about it. ShellMenuView is portable and works on Windows 2000 or above.

Download ShellMenuView

2. ShellExView

ShellExView is also by Nirsoft but differs from ShellMenuView because this tool displays the shell extensions that provide dynamic context menu options a lot of software installs use. These often come in the form of context entries with their own sub menus, custom icons and the options change according to what you have right clicked on. For example security software, multimedia software or file archiver’s might change what gets displayed in the context menu depending on what you’re clicking on.

Shell extensions that are shown in ShellExView are mostly those which depend on a DLL file to show their menu options and are sometimes a cause for lags or delays when right clicking on a file and the context menu itself takes a while to appear, or in the worst case crashes Explorer. If you want to know more a bout possible problems this can cause and how to fix it, read the article Fix for Very Slow or Hang When Right Click On a File or Folder.

The program also lists other shell extension objects, not just those in the right click menu, so when you run ShellExView it’s best to go to Options -> Filter By Extension Type and select only Context Menu from the list to avoid confusion. Menu shell extensions cannot be deleted but can be enabled or disabled which is enough to find an offending entry causing issues or those you have no use for. ShellExView is portable and works on Windows 98 to 7 32-bit and 64-bit.

Download ShellExView

3. CCleaner

The popular junk and privacy cleaning tool CCleaner keeps getting useful functions added to it, and one of them is a Context Menu viewer and and remover. The entries viewable are a bit like those found in ShellExview which is the shell extensions that have an associated DLL running them.

To get to the Context Menu viewer click on Tools down the left -> Startup -> Context Menu tab. From there you can see whether the entry is connected to a directory, file or drive and if it has already been disabled. The location on the hard drive of the DLL is shown and all you have to do is click Delete or Disable / Enable the entry you want to change. CCleaner is either portable or a setup installer and works with Windows XP and above.

Download CCleaner

4. MenuMaid

MenuMaid is a very easy to use and simple context shell extension enabler and disabler. The program also displays context menu entries that are present in Internet Explorer, so you can disable any of them too if they’re not required or leftover from old software. A slight drawback is MenuMaid isn’t portable by default but can be made so by using an archiver like 7-Zip to extract the installer.

To disable a context menu entry just untick it, the effect is instant and there is no apply button. Obviously put a tick back to enable it again. There is very little in terms of details or options, but this is what makes the program so simple to use. Works in Windows XP, Vista and 7.

Download MenuMaid

5. FileMenu Tools

Although FileMenu Tools has a number of comprehensive options for creating your own or using the built in context entries in your menus, it also includes some options to disable or delete “Send To” right click sub menu items and “Commands of other applications”, which in essence is the context shell extensions.

To find the shell extension you want to disable click on the Commands of other applications tab on the right (it’s greyed out and can easily be missed). Then simply expand the relevant tree and untick the required extension. The option is available to disable a whole section if you’re having issues with right clicking on a drive or folder for example. If you have made any changes, a green icon will appear on the toolbar to apply them and a red icon to cancel anything you have edited. FileMenu Tools works on Windows XP and above, portable and installer versions are available.

6. Glary Utilities

Glary Utilities is another well known and respected cleaning and optimizing tool that also has a function to disable or remove context menu shell extensions.

The entry is displayed along with what it affects (all files, folders etc), and information about it is displayed below. Unticking will immediately disable the entry in your context menu or click Remove if you’re sure you don’t want it any more. The procedure is similar for the New and Send To tabs. Portable and installer versions are available, and Glary Utilities works on Windows XP and above.

7. Fast Explorer

This context menu management tool is able to add context items, but the removal options are more useful. An advantage of using Fast Explorer is it displays a static item cleanup function as well as a shell extensions cleanup option. Although not as informative and with not so many functions, these 2 options basically cover what both ShellMenuView and ShellExView do individually.

In the static items cleanup option simply select the file type / extension on the left and its associated menu functions will appear on the right. You can then untick to disable the entry, click Delete to remove it or Clear will remove all menu items at once. For Shell Extension Cleanup select what you want on the left and the right pane will show the extension details with a Delete button to remove it totally or an Active tick box to only disable the extension.
