Feedback: Right-Click Extender for Windows 7 - Add or Remove context menu items

[LeeW]

In XP I had an app that allowed me to Set & Reset the RO attribute on 1 or more files. It comes in really handy as a developer who is constantly changing this bit for our source control app. Thanks for a great Win7 util!

Good idea. If I can get some more motivation to work on my tweaking utility (taking the place of RCE), that would be a good one to add. Thanks for the feedback

You mean a program like attribute changer?

I wonder if there is a possibility to disable or remove right menu context items, even in NEW - item , witch has a lot of menu items too, and if we can add some other program shortcuts , like Word witch inexplicable isn't in my right menu NEW submenu. . I'm using windows 7 -64bit .
If there is other helping tool, please let me know.

I am adding alot more functionality to the next version:
Remove existing menu options, even more applications, custom menus, explorer menus, taskbar menu's, start menu menus............................

As of now there are a few applications that have a limited number of this and that, but there really isn't a good application for Windows 7 that does everything. Hopefully I will be able to nullify this with the next version

I've recently migrated from XP to windows 7. I can't stand windows 7. I'm very slowly trying to get used to it. One thing that bothers me is the inefficient use of desktop space. Everything seems to be bigger, thicker, clunkier, etc, in windows 7. One thing that is annoying is the right-click contect menus are huge. Why is there so much space in between items? Is there a way to reduce the spacing in between each item in the menu? I want everything to be condensed. If you could add that in the options for your tweak program that would be great.

Also is there a way to remove the side panel thingy in the context menu, the one that utterly useless icons beside screen resolution, gadgets and personalize?

Thanks.

Spacing I'm not sure but I can almost guarentee it's gonna be a hack. I'll look into it. As to editing existing menu options, I am working on that as we speak with the final version of the app

Thanks for the feedback

I loaded the right click extender and put a couple of the items into my context menu. What I'm having a problem with is I'm unable to get the "Admin. Command Prompt" in my context menu. I noticed that when I first opened the program the Admin. Command Prompt was already checked, except for the icon. Is there something special I have to do to get it to come up on my context menu. I'm using Windows 7 HP. Acer Aspire Laptop. 32 bit 4 gigs of RAM. Also, what is the "shift & click" box for. I couldn't find the explanation for that anywhere.

Hi

Using Win 7 Home Premium, and running as Administrator. When first opening the application encounters a Microsoft .NET framework error. Details at the end of this post.

Advice appreciated, I only have Microsoft NET framework 4 (Client Profile) installed. Maybe need another version ?

All best

This error has been covered in earlier posts

The error is being fixed in the next version. Some windows machines are not creating a default registry entry which the application looks for upon startup. To workaround this error till next version, click continue to run the application, on the file/folder options, click the option to Hide Drives in Sendto, click apply then unselect the option and apply. Once done you will not recieve the error anymore.
