Great tip! Thanks!
Question:
1. do the programs you’ve mentioned work with Vista
2. how do I add an executable to the “new” section of a context menu, e.g. add “MS Document” to the “new” menu.

Thanks!

Isn’t there a way to REORDER the context menu? I don’t want to hide or disable
items, I just want to change the order they’re displayed .

Is there a way that I can make the “Copy as Path” option appear on the rightclick menu as well as the shift-rightclick menu in Vista?
I use it all the time, and it would be nice to be able to eliminate the “oops, didn’t hold shift down while clicking” step in the process.

No, no, no!!! Just get StudioZai Menu Organizer. A free little program that makes modifying context menus a breeze. Right click on any folder or file, and at the top of the menu you will see “Organize This Menu”. All items appear. Check the appropriate box and the item is removed (or added). I have no interest in Studio Zai, but it simplifies an issue that troubles/frustrates many.

@thesun:
ShellMenuView manages static context menu entries that are added to a file types shell key.
ShellExView manages Shell Extensions including Context Menu handlers that give you dynamic context menu entries.
Dynamic context menu entries are ones with sub menus, custom icons and ones that change depending on the selected file, like “Add to zip selectedfile.zip”.
