Edit Right Click Menu

Sometimes when you install software on your computer, an entry for that software is made into your right click menu. One extra entry isn’t so bad, but they can sure add up! Here is how to edit your right click menu:

Warning: This involves modifying your Registry. If you make a mistake, your computer and/or programs can stop functioning properly. Use this tip at your own risk.*You could decide to export your registry file to your desktop before making any changes. That way you can return anything that you’ve changed your mind on. (Once in the Registry Editor, Click the top option ‘Registry’ then ‘Export Registry’ and follow the prompts – then to replace your registry settings, choose ‘Import Registry’).

Edit Right Click Menu

  • Go to your Start Menu
  • Click Run
  • Type: Regedit
  • Click OK
  • Go to this folder in the Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  • Then folder: Software
  • Then folder: Microsoft
  • Then folder: Internet Explorer
  • Then folder: MenuExt

Now in this last folder (MenuExt) you will find folders representing the items you want to remove.

Simply delete the folders that you no longer want included in your right click options.

This method simply removes the various software addons, not the built in Microsoft entries such as ‘Properties’ ‘Print’ ‘View Source’ etc.
