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.

    • If built properly, swapping out the backend should be an easy task, but as the article points out, it's just Apple not wanting to do this.
    • Microsoft's new Xbox Shutdown change promises massive power efficiency gains by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been delivering a lot of changes for Xbox Insiders to test in recent weeks, and today, another wave of changes aimed at consoles was announced. The latest drop is testing features that let users find mutual friends easier, customize their UI, and streamline wishlisting. When looking at an Xbox friend's profile, an option will appear to see mutual friends, perhaps to get a refresher on how you know that person. This will depend on the privacy settings. The same applies to when checking the profile of a person who is not in the friends list, offering a quick way to find out if this is a known connection. Next, Microsoft is giving the option to change how the 'Home' and 'Games & Apps' sections show off available games. There is a new poster style that users can enable for an "immersive library experience." "We’ve also made personalization settings easier to navigate and customize by separating Home and My Games & apps into separate sections," adds the company. "And to make personalization even more accessible, we’ve added new shortcuts throughout menus, so you can quickly jump in and tailor your XBOX experience the way you want." Moreover, heading to the store page of an unreleased game will now offer players the option to wishlist directly from the game card. Lastly, Microsoft is making a change to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles that are in Sleep mode, making them use the more energy-saving 'Shutdown' mode instead automatically. The company says this can increase power savings by up to 20 times without impacting "performance, gameplay, or your ability to receive system, games or apps updates overnight." The only down side seems to be a longer startup time that can take up to 45 seconds. The setting was originally introduced in 2023, and this is only the latest update to it. The power option can be changed from the console settings at any time. This Xbox Insider update is rolling out today to select members of the program. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
    • 2 was a fun game but felt a bit shallow, like not enough there. I hope this expansion fixes that.
    • I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.
