New story idea: How to remove useless context menu items.

i'd spent the last week looking into a reasonable way to do this and haven't had much luck.

I've often wondered how to do this but never got around to looking it up. Now I don't have to since I print the page as a .pdf file.
Thanks for the info, Tom.
Cheers 🍻

Why do these articles all say to log out or reboot when you can simply restart Windows Explorer from the Task Manager? Also, you don't need to exit RegEdit ... changes happen immediately.

Without the reg mod, you can get the full context menu with shift-right click.

I wandered all over looking for a simple method of adding a custom App to the File Explorer right-click menu. Ended up in this article. Worked like a charm. Several other sites had similar instructions but they left out essential pieces, like when adding the path to the Command entry, it must be enclosed in quotes. Works WITH them, doesn't work without. Thanks for an excellent tutorial.
