Context Menu Overload

February 03, 2016 in software

Do you use a laptop?  Do you install a lot of software?  If you said yes to both questions, Inevitably your context menu for Windows Explorer is going to grow so tall that you can't even see all the items in a single screen scrolling.  This is absolutely ridiculous!

Life Hacker has a review of a simple program - Menu Maid - that can solve this problem.  Although the article is 5 years old and all the links are broken, I did find a copy on download.com.  For the pasts few years, I've been avoiding download.com because CNET realized they could make money by requiring all apps to be downloaded using their stupid ad-laced "downloader. " Surprisingly, Menu Maid is a single executable that does not require the downloader which is great news.

Anyway, the app is easy to use.  Just pick a tab, IE or Windows Explorer, then go deselect menu items you don't want and click "Close." Super fast. Super easy.
