Right Click Madness

Hey guys. I'm sure you've noticed that when you right click a file of any type (if you're on windows), you are greeted with a list of possible tasks. Tasks like.. Enqueue in Winamp, Add to Zip, Send to -> Desktop as Shortcut.

I use those things all the time. Love 'em. However, I've noticed that about fifty thousand or so minute applications are under the impression that I use them all the time and would like nothing better than an array of 4-5 tasks that it can perform. Normally I can overlook this... but when I right click an mp3 I'm now bombarded with about 30 choices. Anyway, there's gotta be a way to edit this list to get rid of all the shit I never use that gets in my way. With the registry or otherwise.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
That helped, but what about the Send To menu? That's where most of the clutter is. Everyone seems to think I can't go to file->open in their program.

To alter the Send To menu, right click on your Start Menu - chose Explore all Users - click on your user name - click on your Send To folder, this will show you (on the right-hand side) all of the destinations in your send to folder. Delete whatever you don't want there. You can also add any place you'd like.

To add custom destinations to your Send To folder, you need to actually go to the folder you want to be available in the Send To menu, create a shortcut of it, and send the shortcut to your Send To folder. Then rename the folder so it doesn't say "shortcut to.....etc"

Just to note, the Send To folder is a hidden folder so you will have to go into you're folder options and show hidden items. Here's how:
Open any folder
Click on Tools>Folder Options
Select the View tab
Under the Hidden Files and Folders list, click the radio button that says Show Hidden Files and Folders.

That's it. Good luck
