When I right-click a file in Explorer, I get the context menu as shown in the attachment.

As you can see, there's a lot of stuff there, including some items that I never use in a right-click menu.

Can I clean it up? I'd like to remove certain items (I have never "Compressed and emailed" in my life) and move items about so that they apppear in a different order.

This is just the right-click menu; I don't want to uninstall any programs.

Edited to say: I'd to add, remove and move the separators too!
 
Looks like my attachment didn't take with all my editing and previewing and back-buttoning:(
 
Certainly for the Winrar ones, you can change them to appear in one submenu, as you have Winzip, by going to Winrar's options page.

Cheers,
Rat.
 
Thanks, Rat, I didn't even realise I was doing that for winzip, maybe the submenu is on by default. Certainly helps for winrar though. I hadn't checked each program as I'm sure I read somewhere that you could do this in Control Panel or regedit, or somewhere in Windows itself.
