Any freeware utility which could deal with
the r-click menu.
I want to deleate some dead ones.
Any help to trace them in the registry to clear
would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I use the free Context Edit util from PC Mag and it works well.
Get it here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,3229,00.asp

It goes to pcmag site which is by subscription

How ever the file - cnxtedit.zip- is freely
downloadable at
http://sac-ftp.externetf.hu/utilfile5.html

Yes you're right - just rechecked. I checked out the link before
posting and it looked like it was still free but I didn't click the
filename. When I d/l it several years ago it was free and it's v1.2.
I note your link above seems to be v1.1 but there's probably not
much difference ...maybe?

It certainly does what you want with context menus.
You can even switch on/off context dll's etc.

Changes in Version 1.2:
- Fixed a bug that caused the program to get stuck in an endless loop
when reading the registry if it encountered a circular reference
(specifically, an extension key whose default value contains the name of
the same key). The program also presents a warning message when you
select such a key in the master list. This rare situation doesn't cause
any problems for Windows itself, so ContextEdit doesn't offer to repair
it.

I can post v1.2 on my webspace if anybody wants it - quite small.

I've still got the original zipfile and just installed it on my new
built PC.

Am trying out something called Mmm which comes from
http://www.hace.us-inc.com/mmm.shtml
Seems ok so far although once in a while (not often) it might put
up a box telling you how good it is! Workable and generally
friendly interface.

A shell enhancement to change context menu entries

-----------------

If you really have got to go into the registry then have a look at
the subkeys of the following:

HKCR \*\shellex\contextmenuhandlers
Files

HKCR\AllFileSystemObjects\shellex\contextmenuhandlers
Files and file folders

HKCR\Folder\shellex\contextmenuhandlers
Folders

HKCR\Directory\shellex\contextmenuhandlers
File Folders

HKCR\<ProgID>\shellex\contextmenuhandlers
File class

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\
disk class

Also see the subkeys to this although it is bursting with CLSIDs:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell
Extensions

Could someone allow me to download context/rigfht mouse please?
Email is: normancohenBSBSat quidnunc.netT (omit capped letters)

Also, if by some possible big break..I would love a legit but free copy of
PC Mag's end it all if taht is what there shut down or reboot utiities are
called.
 
I/m a real Charly McCarthy...No sooner did I make a fool of myself asking
for something which had already been posted, but I made it public.
Any way thanx again
 
Hi,

You actually need both:

ShellMenuView:
Description: http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=435
Direct link: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html

ShellExView
Description: http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=357
Direct link: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

Some items appears only in one or the other.

Thanks for the info, Andrew, I didn't know that.

However as menu_view isn't fully functional on 98SE I'll try
contextedit as discussed further down (on my reader, anyhow)
