Angry Fire Right Click Menu

How do you get rid of some of the right click menu items? Like when you click on a icon or file and a web page. Through the Registry but where then?

The easiest way, download Powertools for XP and uncheck whatever you don't want to show.

A lot of the entries can be removed from the programs that put them in, depending on what entries you are interested in removing, if you post back with it, it might help give a clue about it.

Which power tool should I download for the right-click menu options? I already have TweakUI.

Another option is going to Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types, look for the type you want to edit its menu, click it, and then click advanced.
BTW, I have Windows XP and TweakUI too, but I couldn't find a way to edit the right click menu using TweakUI.

I just go into the registry and search for strings containing the name of the program. It's easy to tell which are included in the right click interface. For example the winamp ones "Enqueue in Winamp etc..." are all keys like "Winamp.Enqueue" and etc...
