What is Reddit's opinion of ShellMenuView?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

The real answer is that it depends on how much software you have.

Windows allows third-party integration with right-click menus, which includes not just "open this with <such and such program>" but also other things, like browsing inside zip contents, etc.

In order to do this, Windows allows programs to integrate .dlls / chunks of code with the Explorer right-click menu. This means that before Windows can draw the right-click menu, it has to speak to all the possible .dll chunks of code you have integrated with Explorer and ask them "Ok, he's right-clicking on <this>. What do you want to show?"

So crappily written code by third-parties can definitely screw things up.

I use the utilities written by NirSoft (all free) to modify what's playing with Explorer's menus and keep it nice and simple/clean.

ShellExView - "The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable each shell extension."

ShellMenuView - "ShellMenuView is a small utility that display the list of static menu items that appeared in the context menu when you right-click a file/folder on Windows Explorer, and allows you to easily disable unwanted menu items."

ShellMenuNew - "ShellMenuNew is a small utility that displays the list of all menu items in the 'New' submenu of Windows Explorer. It allows you to easily disable unwanted menu items, so this 'New' submenu will display only the items that you need."

All 3 of these utilities work from Win98 all the way up to Win7.

In this case if this ONLY shows up with media files, you can try ShellMenuView by Nirsoft. It will generate a list of context items by each file extension, you will have to just remove the entries for every file type it shows up in.

Should make a list that looks similar to this http://image.prntscr.com/image/37d5e4fe33e143bb856e6e1899dc316e.jpeg

ShellMenuView and ShellExView: both vital for getting rid of all the crap bundled into Windows context menus by other software.

Try using this magnificent tool to find the issue: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html

Steps:

1. Disable group of extentions,
2. Test if any improvment is happened.
3. If not - enable last group and goto step 1. If yes - use smaller group of extentions and go to step 1

When explorer.exe crashes it usually indicates something is hooking into the explorer.exe process, and causing instability. Typically things like in your context menu. I'd probably start by uninstalling (or you can disable the *.dlls with this and this everything that integrates with your right click context menu.

No its very powerful, it can show you many things not just auto start programs, but they need to load at startup, just look through it.

If you can't see anything entry there you can use ShellMenuView to remove 3rd party options you see in explorer.

When I've come across this in the past, it's almost always a third party program or extension causing grief.

First thing I would try is http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html it's a good program for checking what's currently in your context menu and disabling everything third party, I'd do that first and see if the problem still persists with a stock context menu.

&nbsp;

Another thing I'd do is boot to safe mode, does it happen at all? If it's perfect, it's probably a program, but (I could be wrong), I don't think safe mode covers registry edits made by programs so it's not always going to fix this.

&nbsp;

You can also run SFC /Scannow in an admin command prompt to make sure all the core system files are okay. If you still have no luck, go to your programs/features list and un-install every single program you no longer use that might've built up over the years. Then press Win+R type msconfig and press enter, go to startup, disable pretty much everything you no don't need opened automatically every time the computer stars, nothing in startup will stop the computer from using. Then go to the services tab, select hide all Microsoft services and untick anything that looks dodgy, be conservative here and only untick things you're sure are rubbish.

&nbsp;

If none of that works, you'd really be looking at a repair install which will keep your programs and files but re-install core system files and as a worst case a clean re-install.

Ah coba pake mouse. Kalo pas pake mouse lancar, di touchpad (bisa di setting Windows, bisa dari control panel Synaptec) ada fitur matiin touchpad pas ngetik, atau kadang dalam paket setting "Low sensitivity".

Kalau tetep problem saat pake mouse, coba disable sementara extension Explorer via ShellView atau Autoruns (or restart safe mode)

You can go the easy route and use something like ShellExView or ShellMenuView.

Both of these will delete various kinds of context right-click menus and you don't have to go poking around with Regedit

Hello

You can use ShellMenuView to find this context menu entry and disable it.

Download the program and run the shmnview.exe executable. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html

Find in the list something that has to do with CCleaner and seems to be this entry. (You can sort the list by File Type and look on the entries under with file type Directory)

Right-click that entry and select Disable Selected Items.

Friendly greetings

Maybe your context menu is overcrowded or it points to some program you uninstalled. Anyway you can use a context menu tool to get rid of the unnecessary items http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html The first tool lets you manage shell menu items,the second shell extensions

The settings are strewn all across the registry in a giant mess, it is easiest to use these NirSoft tools: ShellExView and ShellMenuView.

I'm not sure if this does re-ordering, but you can al least remove a bunch of entries.

download shellmenuview (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html), open it, scroll down to puush and then disable

http://puu.sh/x6Imd/42dc24179b.png

you can also right click puush in the icon tray thingy, click settings, click advanced and uncheck "show puush in the context menu"

NirSoft makes a great free one: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html

All of their apps that I've used have been excellent so I highly recommend it.

I thought SysInternals made one too but I might be wrong about that https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb842062

If not malware, it could be a context items who's parent is being closed before explorer causing explorer grief when it tries to gracefully exit.
You could look at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html to see if you have any context oddities and perhaps disable them to test

General maintenance stuff. Your laptop specs aren't antiquated but you could have a lot of bloat installed on the machine. The right click context menu is a good place for some of that bloat because everybody wants to add their software to it, so it's probably some third party program bogging it down. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html and http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html can remove these shell extensions.

The other bottleneck I can see would be harddrive since it has to access numerous points in the registry as well as the file system. If you have other things going on in the background like--let's say--defrag, updates, monitors, etc. then they'll slow it down.

One some might not know about is ShellMenuView.
