Send To

[Rip The Jacker]

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove items in the "Send To" menu. When you right-click on a file, then click on Send To....

I want to remove AIM Buddy, and AIM Share. Anyone know how?
EDIT: By the way, I'm using Windows 2000 Pro.

your best bet is to make changes to the group policies...
to do this: START/RUN/gpedit.msc

once you've opened the editor, navigate to:

user config/admin template/windows components/windows explorer

there you will find several options concerning menu items, you might find what you want there... :ph34r:

Nevermind, I found out how, thanks anyway mr-rain. Stonecoldfreak1, here is how you do it:

1. Goto My computer
2. Goto C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\
(The folder is hidden, you need to be able to view hidden folders)
3. Select the Tools menu
4. Choose folder options
5. Click on the View Tab
6. Select option "Show all files and folders"
7. Click on OK
8. The "Send To" folder should come up, open it
9. You should now be able to customize your "Send To" folder

Now all I need to know is how to remove the rest of the crap in my right-click menu...

the path Start>run>gpedit.msc didn't work on my XP sp1a machine says file isn't there anyways i think the other way is better

@krackhead-i'm guessing that's more application side, rather than OS side, if that makes any sense. Look in documents and settings maybe there's some .ini files or something for those programs?? that's a wild guess though btw avicodec SUCKS i wouldn't mind taking it out of there on my computer too

I actually like AVIcodec, it's been pretty usefull. I found out how, those right-click menu items are in the following regedit folders:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[I.am]

Before people start suggesting the usual Tweak application may i suggest an alternate registry editing if you are comfortable.

If you go to start > run
type regedit
Then...

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
*>shellex>ContextMenuHandlers
Normally you would find things in the right menu there. Deleting it would remove it from the right click menu. However you might want to copy the key incase you wish to add it to the right click menu.



--------------------------------------
If you don't find the correct ContextMenuHandlers item under "*" you could try looking under specific file extensions. You could also try searching the registry for the text that appears on the menu. When searching, don't forget to preface any character that is underlined in the menu with an "&". The ampersand is typically used to identify the character to underline when a menu entry's text is saved in the registry.

Hope this helps :)

@KrackHead2k-i used to like avicodec too, until i found out it makes mistakes. It's interface is more user-friendly than gspot, but here is a reproducable mistake(on my comp) that avicodec makes.
make an svcd program stream in tmpgenc or any other program.
Choose film movie as your source.(i know this works in tmpgenc)
after encoding, open it in avicodec, it will say the film is 29.976fps.

that's wrong. it should be saying 24fps but avicodec is going by the ntsc flags, not the actual framerate of the movie, which is 24fps. Open the file in virtualdubmpeg2 and it will give the correct fps because virtualdub is not so stupid as to go by what the flags say. It figures out the correct framerate,bitrates,ect........

i beleive all can be done with tweak ui (xp power toy)

open windows explorer....then tools->folder options->File types

look for the extension of the files that come up with that options (such as avicodec, etc) and remove them by clicking the Advanced button, then delete em :)

oh and about the "winamp crap" (which i use a lot :rolleyes: ), open winamp, then options->preferences->File types-> uncheck Directory context menus

i think that should do it :D

No actually I use the "Winamp crap" a lot also. :P

The thing is, the Winamp items were in the right-click menu for everything! I would right click on a folder, and it would say "Play in Winamp". Now how the hell am I gonna play a folder in Winamp lol. Now the "Winamp crap" is still in the right-click menu, but for MP3's only. B)

[DWk]

actually i use the play in winamp option for folders..... its easier....just play a whole folder that has mp3's instead of selecting every file....

Yes in that case it would be useful. But it was everywhere! I would right-click on folders with no MP3's, or images, or flash files, or anything else, and it would say "Play in Winamp". :wacko: Eventually it got annoying so I got rid of it (exept for right-clicking on MP3's).
