Is there any software that can remove things from my right-click context menu?

vineedcool asks:

Recently I installed too much software, and with that software came the right-click context menus. Now whenever I open my menu I see a long list of unwanted applications. Can any of you suggest some context menu remover type of software?

Thanks!

Most apps allow you to add to the context but not remove. The ones that do remove items are usually a little complicated.
Write a list of what you want removed from your right click and I will write a walkthrough telling you how to do it.
I say write a list because there are a few apps that you can disable the context menu entries within the app.

Way to go, I guess!

Do you have a better solution then?

Glary Utilities has a “Context Menu Manager”, which allows you to disable or enable these entries with check-boxes, very easy to use. It is divided in 3 tabs: Files & Folders (this is the main one), New, and Send To. That tool is under the category “Optimize & Improve”.
I uploaded a screenshot of that tool here:

Last versions of CCleaner has this feature. Go to “Tools -> Startup” and “Context Menu” is the last tab. From there, right-click and you have more choices like “Disable”, “Delete”.
