IIRC, there is a way of removing some of the right click context menu with
the help of TweakUI.
I'm darned if I can find it though!
Can somebody point me in the righ direction please!
TIA

Hi,

TweakUI offers a way to remove items from the "New" menu which is under
Templates.

As for the right click menu:

It depends on where in the right click menu.

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

ContextEdit lets you control which items appear on your context menu
(right-click) in Windows Explorer.

Oops!
I *did* mean the *New* Menu actually, but this is a _more than useful* reply
and will be copied to my keep folder.

things, even when I'm sure that I know where they are!)

Kelly,

I was browsing the Newsgroup and found this query which interests me. I have
a lot of stuff in my right-click and wonder how to modify it.

Line 23 of http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm reads:
23. Run Startup Programs from the CMD Prompt Allow or Disable CD Burn
Options

This doesn't seem appropriate to the problem

Is there another place I should look?
