can't get rid of context menu items

[deweydesigns]

Yes, i searched the forums. Yes, i examined the registry tweaks pinned post.

problem is, i'm showing copy to and move to in my context menu for files and folders. however, it's not anywhere in the registry.

they are not here: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

i want to get rid of them, cuz i never use them and it's annoying.

would also like to get rid of 'print' from the context menu...

thanks all

You may want to check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To (Move To) also. The two locations (Root and Machine Classes) are mirrored, so what's in one location should be at the other, but then again I've seen weirder things take place at the registry. May be worth a look.

The print command must be removed from every file type individually. (txtfile, inffile etc) and it can be accomplished directly from windows explorer. (Tools/Folder Options/File Types)

Hope that helps.

Thank you, but no they are not there either. Also, is there not a simpler way of removing 'print'? Because there are, of course, an eternity of file formats out there. And to have to remove it from a files options manually everytime my pc encounters a new file is not good.

so...stilll have the copy/move to problem. i searched the entire registry for both and couldn't find it....

Look here

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\CopyMoveTo

did it get there by using the dll from ryanvm's pack?

its in the system32 folder and needs to be unregistered

I know that it's a pain but if there is another way, I don't know it. I have the print commands removed by my setup .INF file. You could make a stand-alone INF file to do that. Here's what it would look like;

[Version]
Signature=$CHICAGO$

[DefaultInstall]
DelReg=Del.Settings

[Del.Settings]
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\print
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\text\shell\print
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Classes\batfile\shell\print
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Classes\cmdfile\shell\print
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Classes\inffile\shell\print
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Classes\inifile\shell\print
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Classes\regfile\shell\print
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Classes\txtfile\shell\print

... And so on. Once you made all the changes to it, you'd R-click on it and "Install" it. That'd take care all of your unwanted print commands at once.

ah yes...there it is. and yes, i used ryansvm pack. if i delete that reg entry do i still need to go to the sys32 folder to do something? and if so, what do i need to do?

thanks all

-edit-

it's still there on some folders... shared docs and others.

You should probably remove the registry entry and unregister the dll

reg delete HKCR\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\CopyMoveTo /f
regsvr32 -u -s %systemroot%\system32\ContextMenuExt.dll

After working on this for an hour i've found all the instances where it will appear, no need to unregister dlls.

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\CopyMoveTo]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\CopyMoveTo]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\CopyMoveTo]
