How to edit or clean-up te folder right-click context menu. Some programs ad additional items in these menus after installing. How to get rid of them?

Go to C:\windows\Sendto to remove items from the sent to portion.
Some are in the registry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
and some under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extentions
They are of course repeated. Do you know how to back up the registry or do a scandisk \restore before you go deleting items from the registry?
use regedit.exe (in the windows directory) to do this...

I used several utilities to try to edit this right click menus but to no avail, they do not include it (Tweak, Tweaki for power users, X-set-up etc.)
Is there a software that allows it, without having to use the manual editing with regedit?

If you have Windows98, this is not as big a deal as Windows95 because if you make a mistake, you can always bring yourself back with Scanreg /restore. But if you haven't done it before, you will want to learn about it first. Norton's comes with t registry editing tool, but it is still a manual process. It just keeps track of your changes for you. It may be that you want to just live with it.
