Windows 10: How to disable Context menu from appearing when hovering over inactive NOT IDLE icons on...

The 'Context Menu' appears when Hovering over inactive NOT IDLE icons on the taskbar. I want to disable that feature.The screenshot doesn't show the mouse cursor even though it hovers over the "File Explorer" icon on the taskbar. I don't want to "remove access to the context menus for the taskbar"; I would still like to have "right click" to access the context menu.

CCC Context menu

I was recently greeted to a new entry in my desktop context menu after installing 8.12 drivers with the Catalyst Control Center:





I have no idea what the second entry does, since clicking it results in nothing happening.
So I open up CCC and find this new section:





It's completely disabled. I only have a single HD3850. The IGP on my mobo is nVidia, which is disabled anyway.

I spent the last hour or so finding a way to remove the second entry, and this is the only thing I could find:
Deleting this key removes both entries from the context menu
Code: KEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ACE[/quote] This solved one problem and caused another. I do not like the tray icon, so I have it disabled, so the only way I know to get into CCC is via the context menu. Does anyone know of a way to disable just the "Configure Additive Graphics" entry and keep the CCC entry?

If I kept both disabled, is there some sort of shortcut I could make to get there instead? I don't want to have to go to Display->Settings->Advanced->CCC every time.
EDIT: Just made a hotkey to get there. *Smile

 

How to put a Symantec Endpoint 14 icon in the context menu in Windows Explorer

Hi José,

If the context menu entry is powered by a shell extension, the user can't add an icon to it. You can add an icon only if it's a static context menu entry.

To know whether it's a shell extension or a static menu, download ShellExView and run it.

ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows

From the Options menu, enable "Hide all Microsoft Extensions".

See if the Symantec Endpoint protection menu appears in the listing. If it does, it's a shell extension, and in that case, the icon can't be added manually.

You may send your suggestion to SEP team via their forum:

Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 22H2 Diagram 'A' shows Windows' suggested programs Diagram 'B' shows the extended list I have been trying to edit the context menu's "Open with" list of Windows' suggested programs for the .mp3 extension. I'm not talking about the extended list, but rather the programs that first appear 'before' the "choose another app" option. If you look at Diagram 'A' you will see the preliminary list generated by Windows, this is the list I am looking to modify. I have an .mp3 editor named Goldwave that I use for editing audio files, however, I do not want to change the preliminary program Windows uses to open .mp3s. My .mp3s should remain assigned to Winamp Player. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
