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.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
