I know this is an old post but i've only just seen it (searched for context help).

I've managed to edit my shell32.dll file (after backing it up) and took out some unwanted options in some of the context menus. Rebooted and it worked, but now i cant seem to edit it again and make more changes.

I made some changes and saved the new shell32.dll file as "shell32 edit.dll". Ran the Replacer program (put in shell32.dll as the original file and "shell32 edit.dll" as the new file) and rebooted to see the changes i made and it worked.

Now when i edit "shell32 edit.dll" and save again to a new file (shell32 edit2.dll), use the Replacer program and reboot, i dont see the aditional changes i made. This second time i made changes, the original file i used was "shell32 edit.dll" and the new file as "shell32 edit2.dll". I tried using the original shell32.dll and "shell32 edit2.dll" as the new file in the Replacer program but my system didnt boot. I got an error along the lines of "shell32.dll is not valid, please replace" before it gets to the login screen and reboots. Following the readme.txt file i managed to copy over the correct shell32.dll file and it boots now.

Am i editing the wrong file? After the first successful edit, which should be the original file and new file in the Replacer program?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

1) Look for lines in ResHacker that look like this

	MENUITEM "", 65535, MFT_SEPARATOR, MFS_ENABLED  

and delete the whole line.

2) Can I see a screen of your right click menu?

Ye it defintely deserves 5/5

About my first question:I tried removing all the seperators and compiled it everytime i made changes. In reshacker it works, i didnt see any seperators but when i replaced the shell32 with my edited version and restarted, all the seperators were still there. I opened up the new shell32.dll again with reshack to see if my changes were still there and they are.

My second: Below is a screenshot of my desktop context menu. AFter i replaced the original .dll some of the options were removed so the image is higher than it was originally, however i'd still like to get it as high as possible (is it possible to have it right at the top?).

Try moving the entries around in reshacker.

ok I got it to work

the only thing is that windows is always asking me if I really want to run the .exe and 2 popups show before the application runs

is it possible to disable that warning?

Not that I have found yet.

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
