Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

    Doc's Computin' Tips: Removing context menu entries


    Pic: Average student at Dr. Mercury's Computer School For Unwed Mothers upon discovering that a program she's just installed has added YET ANOTHER entry to the damb context menu!


    P.S.  I sure wish I had a lip ring. :(


    On a Windows system, the 'context menu' is what pops out when you click on an icon with the right mouse button.  Unfortunately, programs like installing their own entries on the context menu and things can get a bit cluttered after a while.


    The solution is to use a simple program called ShellExView to remove the unwanted entries.


    A download site is here.  No need to install, just unzip and copy the folder to a permanent home.  Then open the ShellExView folder, grab hold of the program's icon and d-r-a-g it over to the Start Menu and drop it in for future access.


    Fire up the program and look for the company or program name on the left.  Right-click on it and select 'Disable'.  Go find an icon, right-click on it and see if the entry has been removed.  If not, look for another entry by the same company or program.  It should be there somewhere.
