ShellMenuView is portable and works on Windows 2000 or above. If you press F9 while highlighting a file you will be taken to Nirsoft’s file extension information website where you will get a list of files that can use the extension and some information about it. Office uses this to show the Open as Read Only options when you Shift+right click on one of its files. There’s a useful function called Extended Mode where you can hide the entry from the standard right click, but allow it to be shown if you press Shift while right clicking. You’re not able to completely delete any of the entries, but they can be disabled by using F7 / F8 hotkeys, the context menu or the red and green toolbar icons. For example, standard Image and Office DOC / XLS types are found here where you can right click on them and select Edit, or perhaps you have Imgburn and the “Burn with Imgburn” entries from your context menu can be found here also. ShellMenuView is another one of Nir Sofer’s useful little tools, and this one is able to display the static context menu entries that are assigned to a specific file type or extension.
Here’s a selection of 7 free tools to help you clean up you context menus and bring a bit of order to your right clicks. The good news is you can remove the items that you don’t want or use from the right click context menu by using a third party tool to remove or temporarily disable them from appearing. Some applications will help you out a bit by offering to cascade multiple entries into a sub menu which can help, but some software simply doesn’t give you an option to not have an item in the context menu. If left unattended, the menu can become quite long and look rather messy with many useless entries doing nothing but taking up space. It’s not uncommon either for some software to leave behind a context menu entry after it’s been uninstalled.

This menu is also used by software applications to allow quick access to options such as (un)archiving files, running virus scans, editing files etc.Īlthough it can be a great source for performing actions quickly, the context menu can also become a source of frustration because sometimes programs will install themselves onto the menu when you don’t really want them there. This menu contains a number of important and convenient Windows functions such as deleting or renaming a folder / file, creating shortcuts, creating a new empty file, running a program as administrator and much more. If you don’t know what it is, the right click context menu in Windows is simply the menu that pops up whenever you right click your mouse or touch pad button.
