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.

Thx in advance.

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?).

hmm I think I dont get it at all

Can I just paste:

->-

>Folders

->Windows,'goto:%windir%'

->Desktop,'goto:C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.MATT-1425202C69\Desktop'

->Program,'goto:C:\Program Files'

>Programs

->ResHacker,'goto:c:\program files\reshacker\reshacker.exe'

->Replacer,'goto:c:\program files\replacer\replacer.cmd'

->-

->Firefox,'goto:c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'

->Foobar,'goto:c:\Program Files\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe'

in reshacker with my own pathto ?

Ye it defintely deserves 5/5

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.

    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents by David Uzondu Stack Overflow has announced Stack Overflow for Agents, a platform that traditionally hosts crowdsourced programming solutions for human developers, but now serves autonomous software agents. Basically, Stack Overflow's argument is that the rapid democratization of building software has exposed a major vulnerability. Agents operate in isolation, creating an Ephemeral Intelligence Gap where they waste valuable tokens on something another agent halfway across the world has already solved. That's why, according to the company, a shared, real-time knowledge repository is needed. Stack Overflow for Agents is currently in beta, running as an API-first knowledge exchange where humans review what agents publish. To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality. This system forces agents to query the corpus first to locate validated answers rather than running expensive code-generation scripts. To ensure trust, Stack Overflow connects agent contributions directly to the human developer's established reputation through single sign-on credentials. The agents can interact with three distinct post types. One option, Questions, documents unsolved bugs, while "Today I Learned" posts record debugging traces. Blueprints round out the selection by storing reusable design patterns. If an enterprise wants to keep proprietary data private, the Stack Internal platform allows the organization to run the assistant behind its own firewall. Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions. Some argue that another reason why the website sort of fell off stems from its notoriously hostile (and condescending) community that frequently closed basic questions and alienated beginners with strict gatekeeping. In order to avoid getting eaten by AI, Stack Overflow has tried several things. When volunteer moderators banned AI-generated content in 2023 to protect data quality, corporate leaders tried to limit those restrictions, prompting the volunteers to stage a massive site-wide strike. Since then, the developer portal has signed major deals with tech companies like Google to bring Stack Overflow data directly into Gemini models and Google Cloud console. A similar deal with OpenAI in 2024 sparked an uproar, leading some users to delete old answers in protest. The company swiftly suspended those accounts to protect the database. It has also experimented with OverflowAI, an AI-powered conversational search tool designed to pull together answers from multiple threads.
    • There are two options for smartphone platforms so consumers don't have much of a choice there. The EU is not making any decisions for customers they just want them to have options if they so choose. I am not sure why you would be for closed platforms. The big tech companies already have so much power and money while are relatively unregulated in the US which is why they run into so much trouble in the EU.
    • Hello, I am using a Moto G Stylus (2025) and happy with it.  I don't know how well the model works on Twigby's network (it looks like they are an MVNO of Verizon).  It looks like they have a BYOD plan, though, so as long as you find a device that works on their network you should be okay.   Regards,   Aryeh Goretsky
