Just ran across this great tip. This will definitely help out in getting rid of the extra cruft that builds up in the context menu. Thanks.

That's very nice, but I am looking for a way to customize the extended "send to" context menu. Neither ShellMenuView or ShellExView can do the trick.

I use keyboard shortcuts and "send to" a lot. Rightclicking with the keyboard is shift+F10, but unfortunately that's the same as shift rightclick so I am stuck with the extended "send to" (that I can't find out how to customize) when I want the normal "send to", that I can customize.

So: Does anybody know how to customize the extended "send to" or how to normal-rightclick with the keyboard, then you could make my life a lot easier.

Thanks ia advance.

I wanted to use this to delete unnecessary entries by WinRAR but couldn't find any on the list. In the end I opened WinRAR's options and found Context Menu extensions.
