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.

An overly cluttered context menu; most of the items are unused



The smarter, quicker, cleaner context menu -- thanks to MMM


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.


It's as easy as drag-and-drop


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.
