Context Cleaner

Windows doesn't give us too much control over the context menu, at least not without having to wander through various menus. Installed programs may add new items to the menu and leave them there when you uninstall them. If you want to get rid of an option you don't need or add one that will make thins easier, you can do it with Context Cleaner. This lightweight utility gives you the possibility of enabling and disabling options in the context menu on the fly. You can add general options or extension-specific options, without having to deal with complex menus and confusing settings.

The application is essentially one single executable, which you can just download and run immediately, without installing anything. It works on all modern Windows systems, including Win 10, and it doesn't use a significant amount of resources.

Context Cleaner has a clean and simple user interface, on which you can explore numerous option categories in a tree structure. Changing any context menu options is quite easy. Just pick a category, select an option, and click one of the buttons, in the lower area of the interface, to enable, disable, or delete that option. Each option and its status is presented as plain text, and changing it can be done instantly. If you feel bothered by one of the options in the context menu, this is how you can deal with it right away.

The software lets you add new context menu options yourself, and the best part is that it doesn't take much to do so. You only need to type in a name, specify an icon path if necessary and type a command. You can add global context menu options, as well as options specific to folders, the desktop and to numerous file formats. An option for importing an MP3 file to a certain program is just one example.

If you want a clean and well-organized context menu, Context Cleaner gives you the control you need to make it so, without any effort.
