Hi,

I am using XP pro.

Is anyone aware of a good utility (ideally freeware if possible) which will let me control what options get displayed when I get the context menu upon right click of the mouse.

Don't know about a utility (maybe there is one?) but there are a number of different tips floating around regarding modifications

Two that i've added to my context menu i find helpful:
Add "Open with Notepad" to the Context Menu for All Files (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-open-with-notepad-to-the-context-menu-for-all-files/)
How to Add Items to the "Send To" Menu in Windows XP (support.microsoft.com/kb/310270)

And also checkout these links
XP Context Tools (http://camtech2000.net/Pages/Context_Utilities.htm)
Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx)

I know glary utilities has a function of these. The tool names Context Menu Manager. For this, you may need to download glary utilities.

Thanks. Will give it a try. BTW, I managed to find a tool FileMenu Tools 5.6 which is pretty nice and serves the purpose.
