Windows Explorer -> Right click context menu

[Tim M.]

Hi,

When I right click on a file or folder in Windows Explorer,
unnecessary entries are displayed in the context-menu that pops up.

AFAIK there are several locations in the registry where information
about which menu entries are displayed is contained - but I was not
able to remove all menu entries by modifying the relevant keys.

Is there any tool that allows me to customize the context menu?

Thanks,

-Tim
