[QUOTE="conceptualclarity, post: 801619, member: 11916"] I wish I could be notified every time a program undertakes to add or subtract context menu items(s), shell extensions as they are often called. There are programs I find useful, such as LiberKey, that insist on adding completely useless and pointless context menu entries that clutter my context menus and ultimately make them harder to use. I get much more upset when a program butchers my context menu, removing other programs' entries. I believe FileMenu Tools did that. I have an Advanced System Care right-click entry that is excellent and convenient for fixing obsolete shortcuts. One time a program removed that item, and I had a very difficult time getting it back. I know there are programs for editing the context menu after the fact and I use them: Auslogics BoostSpeed, Easy Context Menu, Glary Utilities, and Wise Care (actually I use the Neptune rebranding which doesn't install a cranky driver) None are remotely near perfect in detecting what is in one's context menus. Sometimes I have to resort to registry editing. If anybody has any other suggestions for good context menu editors, they are welcome. However what I really want is to be able to stop unwanted context menu changes before they happen. Is there a program that lets me do that? [/QUOTE]
