Delete items from context men from right click
There are two many items from context menu when right clicking on the desktop. Is there any simple way to delete unused items from it?
It might be possible to do so using one of the following methods:
- Using a third-party tool: Tools like ShellExView can help you manage and remove unwanted context menu items easily.
- Windows Registry: (Important: Create a backup before deleting or making any changes to the registry. One way to do this is to export the Key)
- Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
- Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers for file context menus or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers for folder context menus.
- Find the unwanted items and delete their keys. Be careful when editing the registry, as incorrect changes can cause system issues.
