Windows 10: I need to disable some bugged items in my context menu.

I did a full uninstall of armory crate, using Asus's provided uninstall software. This artifact remains regardless. I would also like to disable the visual studio shortcut without having to uninstall the app. I attempted to do this via the registry editor, but in the 5 standard locations I checked there were no items that recognizably matched either of these. I have also attempted to use tools such as sysinternals autorun to find and delete this, to just as little luck. The Armoury crate link is entirely useless.

Modify Title of Context Menu Item

This is curiously difficult. No one utility seems to offer a complete list of context menu entries as far as I know.

For example, using Shellmenuview, you can access the relevant entry in Regedit. For some it appears to offer the ability to change that text:



That's an installed program.

For others, it doesn't.



(That's a default Windows program....).

Note too the text appears in multiple places where the program is associated with multiple extensions.

The venerable ContextMenuEdit allows you to edit the text, but again, this is non-trivial- consider here the extension list supported by vlc player, undifferentiated in the left column:




To be consistent, each one would have to be edited- then if you changed player, all that would be lost.

Basically this, I suggest, is not worth pursuing except in very specific cases should there be a real need.

Considering the impact of upgrading, changes to installed program context menu entries should not be affected. Changes to Windows default entries- if that's even feasible, which I doubt, as I believe the text isn't in the registry, would be restored to default.

 

Add or Remove Start Context menu items

Nyima,

I was not asking about adding and removing regular app items to the start menu, but rather adding or removing items from the Context Menu (Win+X). Specifically, I would like to add the Devices and Printers item to the list.

Thank you for the response.

 

context menu

my problem is context menu appears but its item "new" can not be expanded when click on it and if you click it repeatedly the context menu closed, I don't want add or disable any item in context menu.
