Modify the context menu (Windows)

Switch between old and new context menu

Old context menu

reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

New context menu

reg.exe delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}" /f

Restart the “Windows Explorer” via the “Task Manager” to get the changes.


Remove items from the context menu

File

HKCR\*\shell
HKCR\*\shellex

Directory (only non-virtual directory, like “C:\Windows”)

HKCR\Directory\shell
HKCR\Directory\shellex

Folder (also virtual directory, like “Recycle Bin”)

HKCR\Folder\shell

Drive

Prefer to delete the items via the settings of that app if possible.
