How do you manage context menus?
If your context menu is littered with shortcuts and entries for programs that you no longer have installed, or that you simply do not use, Easy Context Menu can be used to get rid of them. Start by either clicking the fourth toolbar button (depicting a mouse and a broom), or click File > ContextMenu Cleaner.
Click on Tools > Startup and click on the Context Menu tab. Right-click any entry, and you can disable or delete it. You can also save to a text file or open in Regedit or the folder that it resides in.
Where are the most used items in the context menu?
Menus with static content should have the most frequently used menu items placed at the top of the menu. Menus with dynamic content may have other behavior, such as placing previously used fonts at the top of the menu. The order can change based on user actions.

How to organize commands in a context menu?
Group together sets of commands. Divide a predictable set of commands, such as clipboard commands (Cut / Copy / Paste), from app-specific or view-specific commands. Menus with static content should have the most frequently used menu items placed at the top of the menu.
You can’t add your own custom items or remove items already on your context menus, but Right-Click Extender lets you add/remove the tools and options that are built-into the software, which largely include shortcuts to places around Windows. Provides built-in access for creating/restoring registry backups and system restore points.
