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?).

post-100176-1135075022.jpg

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.

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
