Edit right-click menu in Windows Explorer

R

I'm running Windows XP HE and I've added a shortcut to the command prompt
from folders in Win Explorer. So far so good, but I find I can't edit or
remove such items by simply going to Tools, Folder Options, File Types,
selecting Folder, Advanced and selecting the item in the Actions box because
both the Edit and Remove buttons are greyed/grayed out. I've worked around
this problem by opening the registry editor and then searching for and
deleting or changing the items in question, but does anyone know of a tweak
that enables the editor within Windows Explorer?
TIA
Roger

Yes, and I've just rechecked it but I can't see how it helps - have I missed
something?

But on the same website I found the "Open Command Window Here" PowerToy
which does the same thing and can be removed using Add or Remove Programs -
thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm still curious about how
to enable the edit and remove facilities in Win Explorer.......
