In the operating system, in addition to the desktop shortcuts, the right-click menu can be used to place some common operations to improve our application efficiency. However, some right-click menus are rarely used, and sometimes it takes a little time to wait for them to display completely. This does not improve efficiency. For this reason, we need to quickly clean up some useless right-click menus. How to clean it? Let's take a look at this tutorial.

The first trick: clean up the content added by the graphics card driver

Run regedit to open the registry editor. Go to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Directory\\Background\\shellex\\ContextMenuHandlers], the following sub-item igfxcui is the content added by the Intel graphics driver that appears in the desktop right-click menu.

For options that are only available in the folder context menu, look under the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Direclory\\shell] and [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Directory\\shellex\\ContextMenuHandlers] branches. Sometimes there are options in the right-click menu under the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Folder\\shell] and [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Folder\\shellex\\ContextMenuHandlers] branches. It is best to use the key combination < Ctrl + F & rdquo;, in the search dialog box, enter the keyword in the menu to be deleted, find it and delete it. After the above operation, the right-click menu is much refreshed.

Therefore, simply change the “ShellNew” subkey under the Unwanted File Type subkey to the “ShellNewOld” subkey to prevent it from appearing in the “New” menu.
