Default Windows explorer - customizing opening a folder

I want to remove and change the actions for "File Folder".
But I can't, since "Edit" and "Remove" buttons are grayed out.

Currently it has

enqueue in Winamp
Play in Winamp
Add to Winamp's Bookmark list
command
explore
find

I only want 2 actions; "Open" and "Command" as an alternative.
"command" opens the "cmd" window in "My Documents". I'd like to have it
opened in the folder (directory). I added explore but must have made some
mistake, because when I right-click and select the explorer it says access
denied. I don't know what application is used to "Open" a folder. I want
"Open" as the default and be able to perform "cmd" in the folder using a
right click.
