ShellMenuNew

ShellMenuNew is a lightweight and portable software application that shows a list with menu items available in the Windows Explorer right-click menu, and gives you the possibility to disable the ones you don't use. It doesn't include complicated options or customization preferences, making it accessible to all types of users.

As setup is not required, you can save the app files in any part of the disk and simply click the executable to launch ShellMenuNew. There is also the option to save it to a removable storage unit, in order to directly run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers. Plus, it doesn't integrate new entries in the Start menu.

The user-friendly GUI is represented by a normal-looking window with a neatly organized structure, where the context menu items are automatically identified and listed at startup.

Shown information includes the extension, menu text and type, enabled/disabled status, new file data, together with the registry key of each item. You can copy all these details for selected entries or the entire list to the Clipboard, or export them to file for closer examination.

Likewise, you can seamlessly enable or disable menu items in the Windows registry, or open their location in Registry Editor. Data can be refreshed anytime. Moreover, you can use a basic search tool when dealing with large amounts of information, or enable automatic desktop refresh mode.

No error dialogs popped up in our testing, and the software utility didn't freeze or crash. It showed accurate details and used low CPU and RAM, so it didn't hamper system performance. Thanks to its intuitive interface and options, ShellMenuNew should come in handy to all users who want to easily manage context menu items by hiding any of them.
