Graphics options when right click on desktop

[Gavin Deadman]

Hi,

I asked this question about a year ago and I solved it
from the reply and tried searching for it but nothing
comes up.

When right clicking on desktop it takes ages to come up
because I have graphics options listed etc, all I
remember last time is deleting strings from the registry.
Which ones do i have to delete again?

Many Thanks

The free TweakUI utility from Microsoft can do this easily. Download,
install the program and look in the "Templates" section. It allows you to
delete or add items to the right click menu.

Ronnie,

Just downloaded the program and it only has mention that
you can add / delete the list of programs when you right
hand click on desktop and then go to new. The graphics
options are in the menu before, as soon as you right
click it appears just under refresh.

Got any other ideas?

Thanks

Gavin

I click on Contextmenuhandlers in Shellex and four more
folders come up, 'Encryption Menu', 'Offline
Files', 'Sharing' and 'Winzip'.

??????

If i just highlight Contextmenuhandlers the name of the
string is default and no value is set if that helps.

items when right clicking nothing.
