ContextMenuCleaner 0.1

I've been holding off releasing this for a while, but I think it's time now.

ContextMenuCleaner cleans some of your context menus in Windows, and currently supports cleaning:

  • Desktop
  • Windows Explorer
  • Internet Explorer
  • Windows Taskbar

Basically, you just open up a context menu,

ContextMenuCleaner - Dirty Menu

then double click the system tray icon, and drag some items over to the Hidden section.

ContextMenuCleaner - Config

The next time you open this menu it should have been cleaned:

ContextMenuCleaner - Better Menu

Here's a before and after of the Internet Explorer context menu:

ContextMenuCleaner - Before and After

EDIT: If you want to remove an item such as "Scan file.zip", you can drag an item over to the hidden items list, and rename it to "Scan *". This should remove all items that start with "Scan ".

As usual, comment here with your bugs/suggestions.

Peace!

Yod M 3D has been acquired!

Otaku Software has acquired my latest favourite piece of software, Yod M' 3d! They are planning on calling the new software DeskSpace.

 

For those of you that haven't heard of it yet, it's very similar to XGL's (Linux) Virtual Cube thingy. It's basically a 3d cube with a desktop on four sides. You can use the mouse to switch between desktops. I've set it up to pop up when the mouse touches the bottom right corner of the screen, which can be extremely useful when you have one million windows open, as programmers generally do.

 

I'm going to be very unhappy if they decide to make it shareware, though.
