    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!

  2. 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 :(

    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:


    Some context menu/cleanup ati2.png


    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:


    Some context menu/cleanup ati1.png


    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 Some context menu/cleanup :)
