Windows Tips 'n' Tricks

Little things that make a difference like the context menu, and more
A clutter-free context menu
Choice is always nice to have, but too much will certainly lead to clutter. It's a perpetual problem for those who install many programs, or prefer different programs to an all-in-one. Speaking for myself, in spite of WinZip being very capable of compression, I prefer the quick usability of WinRAR, and the fact that it can handle several compression types. Say hello to MMM from Hace Software.
What MMM does is, it allows you to trim down the Windows context menu, that is, the options you get when you right-click on a file or folder. How it does can be confusing at first: you need to right-click a file and then launch MMM -- after which it will let you edit the displayed right-click options.
This freeware XP-only app lets you easily remove what you do not want displayed in the context menu by dragging and dropping items from the left to the right-hand side of the window under a nifty "Hidden" feature. If you' like to view the items, but not in the main menu and rather in a sub-menu, the "Rarely used" feature is ideal for that.
