Cool How can I change what appears in the rick-click menu?

Here is my typical right-click menu:

...and despite the wonderfulness of TweakUI, I don't see how I can use it to clear the clutter. I only use a fraction of what's there and don't wnat to see the rest. How can I make this happen?

I'm afraid that program showed me absolutely nothing. Is there anything else? Something that will give me a list of everything available to the menu and will allow me to de-select specific line items?

That's exactly what the Context Editor Disk_Contented linked to does. At least, that's what it did the last time I used it.

However, if it doesn't work for you, this page explains how to edit the menu manually.

If you check out the link below and review the last two screenshots, those are what I see when using the program, which is a far cry from the list pictured in the initial post. There isn't a list of line items there. And the "manual" page you referred to shows me the exact same thing. Unless I'm not getting something, nothing is working.

The page I linked to shows you how to add (and if reversed, remove) items from the right click menu by editing the registry.

Are you saying that when you open regedit, there are no Context Menu Handlers listed or that the Context Menu Handler folder isn't present?

I unfortunately don't see how.

Neither; I'm saying the manual is the exact same thing as the Context Menu Editor. The handlers are there, but clicking on them or their subfolders don't show me the line items (as seen in the pic in the first post).

Let's try this another way. Are you familiar with Firefox's extension Menu Editor? I'm trying to do THAT with Windows' menus, whether by registry or program or whatever.
