Adding entries is possible in the registry, but it is a little trickier and you need to know precisely the right parameters for every menu item you would like to add.

Now granted, I probably said yes a couple of times, thinking how useful it would be to have that in my right-click menu, but there are still many I never use!
Now that is just way too long! So how can we customize the menu to something more manageable? First, make sure to back up your registry in case something gets messed up. There is a right-click menu for files and another for folders. To get to the one for files, head over to this registry key:. All the folders listed under ContextMenuHandlers are applications that show up when you right click on a file in Windows.
You can either delete the folder to remove the option or simply disable the folder, which is better in case you want to bring it back later on. All you need to do is add a minus sign without the parentheses — in front of the key value like shown below:. Works on Windows XP and above. Download Fast Explorer.
