How Can I Modify Right-Click Menus?


Recommended Posts

I downloaded and installed Xdrive from AOL. After installing it, I decided it wasn't for me. So I uninstalled it, using the "Uninstall a Program" option in the Vista Control Panel.

Now I see that the Xdrive options are still on all my right-click file management menus. Guess the Uninstall didn't work too great.

Anyone have advice on how to remove the Xdrive options from my menus?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like I may have answered my own question.

I think the Context Menu Editor (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Context-Menu-Editor.shtml)

will do the job.

Found that thru www.annoyances.org, which has a ton of useful tips and tricks.

Thanks guys.

Incase that doesn't do the job, these two are much more thorough and can be used to disable just about anything in a context menu:

Thanks, Xinok -- excellent utilities. Turns out that I DID have to use shexview to remove all traces of that blasted Xdrive. For some reason, the utility from Softpedia didn't clearly list everything.

Many thanks.

I like ContextEdit better. http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enh...ntextEdit.shtml

To add useful context menu items, try Filemenu tools. You can add custom commands as well.

Thanks -- as I mentioned back up there, the Context Menu Editor from Softpedia didn't reveal everything. Your suggestion looks very useful.
