modifying right click menu in file explorer?

[gaikokujinkyofusho]

Hi, my right click menu is getting a bit unwieldy. I have alot of
programs that have added multiple options etc to my right click menu in
explorer. I want to keep some of them, add dividers, and erase others
but most of these programs do not allow selective editing (most are
all-or-nothing options). Is there a free menu editor out there that i
can use to fix this? Any help would really be appreciated!

Cheers

Shell Extensions are in-process COM objects which extends the abilities
of Windows operating system. Most shell extensions are automatically
installed by the operating system, but there are also many other
applications that install additional shell extension components. For
example: If you install WinZip on your computer, you'll see a special
WinZip menu when you right-click on a Zip file. This menu is created by
adding a shell extension to the system.

The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions
installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable
each shell extension.

ShellExView can be used for solving context-menu problems in Explorer
