Last week, Lynn asked us a question that we have not heard for a while \u2013 she wanted to know how to remove some of the programs from her right-click context menu \u2013 she was tired of scrolling down a long list just to get to \u201cRename\u201d and \u201cDelete\u201d which are the two items she uses most.<\/span><\/p>\n There are a lot of programs that can help with paring down the list of items on the right-click context menu \u2013 you can even remove items by editing the registry. But few people consider editing the registry easy or fun \u2013 and we found many of the context menu editors complicated.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Because of Lynn\u2019s question, we went on a search for an easy-to-use context menu editor. And we found a free program that\u2019s extremely easy to use \u2014 so much so that removing items from the right-click context menu is as easy as this:<\/span><\/p>\n Highlight the item you want to remove and click \u201cDelete\u201d.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The program is called \u201cEasy Context Menu\u201d. You can download the zip file from here.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Once you download it, unzip the file and open the folder inside. Then click on EcMenu or EcMenu64 (if you have a 64-bit computer click on EcMenu64 – if you\u2019re not sure click on EcMenu). <\/span><\/p>\n Once you open the program, press Ctrl-X (or choose \u201cFile\u201d > \u201cContext menu cleaner\u201d) to open the ContextMenu Cleaner. Highlight the item you want to remove from your right-click menu and click \u201cDelete\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n If you want to delete several items at once, highlight multiple items by holding down the SHIFT key while you click on the items you want to remove. Then, when you have all the items you want to remove from your right-click context menu selected, click on the Delete button on the left side. That\u2019s it.<\/span><\/p>\n Context Menu Cleaner has many other features as well. You can read more about it and all its features here<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n BONUS TIP! Do you have a 64-bit or 32-bit PC?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Chances are you have a 64-bit PC, but if you want to find out:<\/span><\/p>\n 1.) Type About PC in the taskbar search.
