    Remove from context menu


    Brink has posted a number of tutorials for removing specific program entries from the context menu. The screen shot is my current CM, showing two entries I'd like to get rid of. Is there a general method or places in the registry to look for?

  3. Quick Access Crashes Explorer

    I was having the same problem for few days. Later I discovered that it was happening due to context menu integration of Format Factory. I removed "add to system context menu" from FF and that solved the problem. I think some (but Not ALL) third party applications
    that adds option to the context menu are causing this problem.

    Note: To remove from context menu I had to run FF with administration privilege .

    In that tool (Shellexview aka shexview.exe) you can highlight the item you wish to disable, right-click, then pick disable from the resulting pop-up menu. Here's an example of me setting that up with the 7-Zip shell extension context menu:

    Thanks, all.

    I found and killed the circled items with Shmnview just because I wanted to see the difference with Shexview. It seems that both work. Some programs do have options to display in context and some don't. Some, like Avast, sprinkle the menu with several entries. I'm still stumped on "Open in PDF-XChange editor."
