Right click context menu - Change

[Paddler]

Two programs added a shortcut to the right click context menu. I wish to
remove those short cuts.
On my wife's computer, the search command was added to the top of the
context menu list. She wishes to reorder that to its original place.
I tried the Tweaks power tool, but it would not load.
Help will be greatly appreciated. It has been driving me NUTS!

Search the internet with this search term:

edit the context menu

and you'll get more hits than you can throw a stick at, including this:

You should set a restore point before making any changes.

The entry you wish to remove is in one or more of these keys:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder]


For example, to remove the commands for WinRAR you would delete this key:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\WinRAR]
