    Some context menu/cleanup


    Ok so I finally got around to setting up my laptop (win10) and with installing a whole bunch of applications came a whole bunch of messy context menus. Some were removable by app and I managed to remove most of them through shellexview, shellmenuview, regedit and even Winaero Tweaker with no issue.

    There is just the few last things I was unable to work out or find info on online:

    1. Removing ''Print'', ''New''

    I managed to do this for most things, but the file types am currently struggling with are

    .odg / . odp / .ods / .odt / .rtf

    2. Changing ''Open with AIMP'' to simply just ''Open''

    3. Get rid of ''Cast to Device'' & ''Give Access too''

    Please note these ones I have taken out of the system but they show in apps (such as photoshop) when opening/saving files. Everywhere else they have gone.

    4. TeraCopy Context menu.

    Show 2 items on the context menu one being ''Teracopy...'' and the other ''New Folder with Selection''

    I found the reg locations to get rid of them

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

    But I actually enjoyed the ''New Folder with Selection'' Feature so I was wondering if there was a way to keep that by itself.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If anyone has any info on any of these please let me know, thanks!

    New menu:

    Note that you can create your own template for each of the New items, should you wish.

    Other context menu entries:

    Certain default Windows context menu entries can't be removed by normal means.
    Autoruns (free from MS) comprehensively lists context menu entries along with everything that starts up with checkboxes.

    I would suggest this is not a good idea, being then too vague and general. There are other programs that may create a context menu entry 'Open' and this would be confusing.

  3. Custom context menu entries

    So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

    I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

    It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

    So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

    What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

    So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown Some context menu/cleanup :(

    I appreciate the program as it could come in handy, but what that does is add or remove items from the ''new'' with an arrow listing a bunch of files to create a new one, it doesn't get rid of the ''New'' in the photo I supplied that is there by itself.

    Every single application says ''open'' only for their specified files but only AIMP is doing this, it is weird, it should still open AIMP, just no need to say that, I see absolutely no reason why it can't say just open. In fact on my PC it says open and my laptop Open with AIMP so there is surely a reason why that difference exists.

    I will do anything it takes to do what I have asked.
