  1. How do I disable the new Explorer taskbar context menu


    Hi,

    Is there any way to disable that next context menu when clicking on Windows Explorer?

    It shows a bunch of favorite folders and recent folders.

    Thanks!

    :)

    How do I edit the File Explorer context menu without editing the registry?


    How do I disable the new Explorer taskbar context menu [​IMG]


    This is how my right-click menu looks like in File Explorer with the apps I have installed/preinstalled. I have to really hunt just to find Open With. I've annotated the screenshot with item priority. Such clutter, the list is so long it almost fills my
    24" screen top to bottom and that's just for a picture.

    Is there a safe way I can tweak the items and positioning of items without risking breaking it with regedit? Rather not mess with things I don't understand. Looking for a visual context menu editor but wary of viruses. Suggestions?

    Also I'd like to add an "Edit with Photoshop" option for images here below/above the Edit option.

  5. I have that option turned off, no recent files/folders show up in Start menu, but they are still showing in the taskbar.

    When turned off, that should have removed recent items from your jump lists. Could you post a screenshot showing your jump list for File Explorer to see what may be wrong?

    You can also use the tutorial below to reset and clear these to see if it may have been corrupted.

    That doesn't look like it's showing the full jump list. It would normally have something like this at the bottom at least. You should no longer have "Frequent" listed since you turned it off.
